cool! Yassar Arafat's wife wants to give ME money!!!!
Edited on Thu Mar-10-05 01:13 PM by pres2032
Dear Sir/madam,


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 Daoud 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's
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 refused 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 $300 million. And they are not
relenting on their effort to make me poor for life. As
you know, the Muslim community has no regards for
women, hence my desire for a foreign assistance.

I have deposited the sum of $18.5million dollars with
a presidential finance house 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 will be known to you and
my personal Assistant because if i get an
attorney,there is every possibility that the
informations might be exposed and with an unknown
person in the society who is well furnished and
educated,this transaction will be 100% successful if
you follow our guidelines i assure you of that fact
because with his assistance,noone will have an idea of
what i am doing provided you keep this business
strictly to yourself. 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, Zahwa, will
come of 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 respond to my pravte email address
to show your intrest i this deal.Email: -------

Yours sincerely,

Suha Arafat





I'm sending her my bank account number RIGHT NOW!!! :D :eyes:

25. See what trends the D.U. Lounge can spark
We copycat threads, and suddenly Yasser Arafat's wife starts to copycat internet scams.

Truly this is the most 'in' place in the world.

3. You know...
A couple of years ago, we got a postcard at work that was addressed to "President of Company" asking for the same type of thing...at least they weren't claiming to be Arafat's wife!

Those things always crack me up.

There's a radical right evangelical one going around too.

The most interesting was from US troops in Iraq, though.

23. They're all low
most of them are about deaths of relatives.

You guys have seen the ebolamonkeyman site, right. Hilarious stuff!

The Iraqi one was about troops who had snagged 1,000,000,000 USD (ONE BILLION DOLLARS) from Saddam's cache.

I'll see if I can find it.

6. I received a similar one yesterday as well
What is sad is that these swindlers wouldn't do this if people didn't actually respond. I am not sure whom I despise more; the ones sending the mail or the ones who actually believe them. :shrug:

Most people who fall for these scams are greedy, but they soon part with their money and get no windfall from these crooks.

24. Here's the evangelical one - GOOD FAITH
Beloved In Christ,

Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am
Evang.Margaret Green, a widow to Late Sherrif Green, I am 70years old, I am now
a new Christian convert,suffering from long time cancer of the breast.

From all indications, my condition is serious and according to my
doctor it is quite obvious that I may not survive the sickness,although as a
christain,I beleive God and I know that I will not die,I will leave to
declare the glory of God. My late husband and my only son was killed
during the Ogoni Crisis and I am presently Leaving alone.Our Lord Jesus
Christ is my comforter.


My late husband was very wealthy we have a lot of properties including
Shares and access.After the death of my husband,I made up my mind to
travel abroad to leave the rest of my life and continue to do the work of
God as a missionary.I called our lawyer and I instructed him to sell
all my husbands properties and shares to enable me raise some money to
conitue my mission.The lawyer sold the Shares and some of the properties
and I was able raise the sum of $23,000,000.00(twenty three million US
Dollars)The fund is in cash,for the safety of the fund till am able to
travel out,I packaged the fund in consignments deposited it with a
Security Company.

Presently,all the documents concerning the consignments are with my
lawyer.Now that my sickness has gone to this stage,I am scared and I want
the fund to be used for the work of God all over the world.

I have prayed and I told God to direct me to an honest christain who
will receive this fund and utilise it for things that will glorify the
name of God.After my prayers,I searched the christain site in the
internet,I found your email address and I decided to contact you.

Please if you are interested in using this fund for the work of
God,please send to me your full names and address to enable me give it to my
lawyer for immediate arrangement with the security company on how the
consignments that contained the fund will be delivered to you.

I await your urgent reply.

Thanks and God bless you.
Evang.Margaret Green

EMAIL ADDRESS:seedharvest333@tsamail.co.za
Calvary Greetings.
I am a preacher with the Seed Harvest Ministry,and I
will like to get advice from you.I believe the advice
I need is secular to some extent,but do have the
patience to understand my intention.
A few year's ago I was in Liberia were I had
established a little congregation where I preached
regularly,but the civil war escaleted and the church
was converted to a hospital of sourghts. On one faith
full day three Nigerian Soldiers came to me and left
trunks of Money with me and swore to come back for it.
When the war in Liberia intensified I deposited this
box in a security vault ,I was escorted
by the ECOMOG soliers who felt the content of the
trunks were documents and never cared to check the
trunks,I was air lifted to England with other refugees
then,I stayed in England and when I was getting
fraustrated I returned to London where i am ministering presently
only to find out that
two of the three Soldiers died in Battle while the
last was decleared MIA (Missing in Action).
After thorough investigation of the trunk boxes,i
discovered that the three trunk boxes had a total
amount of four million united stae dollars United States Dollars
which was unknown to me from the very begining.
Considering the fact that there was no possiblility of
the soldiers coming back for their funds,arrangements
were immediately made to have the funds deposited in a
suspence account with a commercial bank in the
Netherlands.
I am interested in using a small fraction of this
money,much less than one percent for a re organisation
of the work,but I do not need the rest and do not want
to have any direct dealing with it.but I need someone
who will be able to use the fund better maybe for
charity or something universally profitable,I have
thought of doing it myself but,my ministry is the
apocalypse and I believe and preach the soon coming
of the Lord which make me not indulgent in reliance on
money or wealth in any form.I will be glad if you have
any interest in the direction of maybe managing or
transmitting the fund as you prefer in your capacity
and understanding.
please if you are interested,i would want you to
send me the following informations:
1.your
legitimate name,
2.your contact address,
3.your phone number,
4.your fax number.
with all these informations,i will take it that you
are interested and the funds will be transferred to
you in provision of the above informations,and as
such you will be the only one who can lay claims to
the fund and then,i will give you all the relevant
information with which you can lay ckaims to the
funds.but i want you to note clearly that you will pay
for the activation of the account
before you can be given full access to the account and
you will promise me that
you willuse the fund for good deeds.
I will be glad to get a response from you to show your
interest.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ON HOW TO CONTACT THE BANK AND MAKE LEGAL
CLAIM OF THIS FUNDS CALL ME IMMEDIATELY IN ORDER I CAN EFFECT THE
BENEFICIARY TO YOUR NAME.
AT MY LONDON BASED MINSTRY WHERE I AM CONDUCTING A HEALING SERVICE TO
CANCER PATIENTS.
