Subject: Dear Intending Partner.
From Mrs. Suha Arafat
Email: suha_arafat_1212@hotmail.com
Dear Intending Partner.
This mail may not be surprising to you if you have been following current
events in the international media with reference to the Middle East and
Palestine in particular.
I am MRS. SUHA ARAFAT, the wife of YASSER ARAFAT, the Palestinian
leader who died recently in Paris. Since his death and even prior to the
announcement, I have been thrown into a state of antagonism, confusion,
humiliation, frustration and hopelessness by the present leadership of the
Palestinian Liberation Organization and the new Prime Minister. I have even
been subjected to physical and psychological torture. As a widow that is so
traumatized, I have lost confidence with everybody in the country at the
moment.
You must have heard over the media reports and the Internet on the discovery
of some fund in my husband secret bank account and companies and the
allegations of some huge sums of money deposited by my husband in my name of
which I have refuses to disclose or give up to the corrupt Palestine
Government. In fact the total sum allegedly discovered by the Government so
far is in the tune of about $6.5 Billion Dollars.
And they are not relenting on their effort to make me poor for life. As you
know, the Moslem community has no regards for woman, hence my desire for a
foreign assistance.
You can visit the broadcast below for better understanding of what I am
talking about;

I have deposited the sum of 20 million dollars with a private security firm
abroad whose name is withheld for now until we open communication. I shall
be grateful if you could receive this fund into your bank account for safe
keeping and any Investment opportunity.
This arrangement is known to you and my personal Attorney.
He might be dealing with you directly for security reasons as the case may
be. In view of the above, if you are willing to assist for our mutual
benefits, we will have to negotiate on your Percentage share of the
$20,000,000 that will be kept in your position for a while and invested in
your name for my trust pending when my Daughter, Zahra, will come off age
and take full responsibility of her Family Estate/inheritance.
Please note that this is a golden opportunity that comes once in life time
and more so, if you are honest, I am going to entrust more funds in your
care as this is one of the legacy we keep for our children.
In case you don't accept please do not let me out to the security and
international media as I am giving you this information in total trust and
confidence I will greatly appreciate if you accept my proposal in good
faith. Please expedite action and all response .You can reply through this
email: suha_arafat_3300333@yahoo.ca
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Suha Arafat.
