Subject: URGENT REPLY NEEDED
Dear Friend,
I am MRS. SUHA ARAFAT, the wife of late YASSER ARAFAT,the Palestinian
leader who died 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 view this website:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3965541.stm.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
Muslem community has no regards for woman, more importantly
when the woman is from a Christian background, hence my desire for a
foreign assistance.
I have deposited the sum of Fourty-Three million dollars with a Diplomatic
Security firm in Europe whose name is withheld for now
until we open proper and full communication.I shall be grateful if you
could receive this fund into your bank account for safe
keeping and any Investment opportunity.
This arrangement should be known to you and I alone and all our
correspondence should be strictly on email alone because our
government has tapped all my lines and are monitoring all my moves.
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
$43,000,000.00 that will be kept in your possession for a while and
invested in your name for my trust pending when my Daughter,
Zahwa,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 you can reach me anytime on my private email:
suaraf@mail.nu
Yours sincerely,
Mrs.Suha Arafat
