> Dear Friend,

> I am MRS. SUHA ARAFAT, the wife of late YASSER ARAFAT, the Palestinian leader who died on November 11, 2004 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, and for this reason I and my only daughter had to flee to Tunisia to live.

> I had been living in Tunisia ever since my husband died in 2004 until recently I was expulsed from the country over some political and controversial issues which also resulted in confiscation of all my assets and business investments and frozen of my bank accounts. I knew it was a plot and perfected arrangement from the presidency to push me out of a large business cartel I am in control of in Tunisia. Well I am not surprise of this development, although I have relocated to Valletta Malta where I am presently residing to begin a new life with my only daughter.

> Please I am writing you this email with a heart full of pains and sorrow, and for the reasons of all I have stated above, I would want you to treat this email and its content very confidential and under no circumstances would you disclose this to anyone. And I also want to inform you that I have been under security surveillances since after the death of my husband because of some undisclosable funds he deposited with an investment firm in my name. It is based on this fact that I am asking for your total confidentiality of this transaction. And on this basis I am soliciting for your help to assist me for the retrieval of the deposits from the investment firm on my behalf. I cannot do this by myself because any move I would do to get it done by myself would attract public and government interest on me and this absolutely would result in confiscation of the funds; and it is for this reason that I need to front you to act as my trustee and receivership beneficiary for these dep!

> For security reasons I would not disclose the name of the investment firm and the amount involved until you in good faith agreed to consent to work with me. But please be informed that the retrieval of this deposit would require your physical presence at the office complex of the investment firm for practical signing of the receivership documents. And I would want you to understand that it is under this condition of your traveling to meet with the firm physically and practically would convince you the truth and legitimacy of this transaction by your good self without anyone telling you so.

> I plead for your acceptance of my offer for a 40% sharing of the total proceeds to you. If you agreed and accept my proposal in good faith, please send me your full details as follows; your Name, Address, Phone and Fax number and your international passport OR Drivers license identification for this preliminary stage of introduction of you to the firm for your invitation and clearance procedures. But in case you don't accept my offer, please do not let me out to the security and international media as I am giving you this information in total trust and confidence.
