Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mrs. SUHA TAWIL 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 window 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.
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 BBC news broadcast below for better understanding of what I am talking about::http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3479937.stm
I have deposited the sum of 22.5 million dollars with a financial firm in Europe 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 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 22.5 million dollars 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 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.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Suha Tawil Arafat

Yemeni assassin hits York man with spam death threat
By Joe Fay
A software engineer form York has been left nonplussed after a group of hired guns from the Yemen Arab Republic claimed to have been contracted to "terminate" him with extreme prejudice.
Charles Anderson told El Reg he received an email last week from a "Gladlord Mohammed" informing him that "i have being paid $200,000.00 in advance to terminate you with some reasons listed to me by my employers".
However, Gladlord continued: "i have followed you closely for one week and three days now and have seen that you are innocent of the accusation."
Therefore, Gladlord had decided to pass up the contract on Charles - if the lucky developer handed over "$50,000.00 to the account i will provide for you".
Indeed, the gun for hire continued, once Charles had made a down payment and met with Gladlord, "i will give you the tape that contains his request for me to terminate you, which will be enough evidence for you to take him to court (if you wish to), then the balance will be paid later".
In the meantime, Charles is required to keep his mouth shut and not contact the FBI or the Police. The assassin reminds Charles that "I have your picture with me and other vital information. I was hired with my team from Yemen Arab Republic down here. So you don't need to ask any question. Deal/ No Deal?"
Despite the obvious air of menace around the email, our man has concluded this is clearly a scam, adding: "It's the first scam I've ever received that tried to intimidate me into handing over money, rather than just playing on my greed and stupidity. Is this the start of a trend, or have I just been lucky so far?"
Was our man really saying there was no one he could think of who'd want him rubbed out, waxed or otherwise taken care of? "I'm pretty sure I don't have any enemies who'd want me dead. More importantly, I doubt if I even know anyone who's got $200,000 to spare."
Not even an irate customer, El Reg suggested? "My direct contact with customers is very limited, so that would rule out most of the usual suspects," said Charles. "I haven't even annoyed the QA team much this year."
I have a gmail and
I have a gmail and college/work account, which receives scam emails like these all the time. Thinking that that email was sent to a work account.
