I have received this several times before, and you probably have also, but it just came in again and it still makes me laugh every time:
Dear Intending partnerThis 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 BBC news broadcast below for better understanding of what I am talking about;

I have deposited the sum of 20 million dollars with a 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, 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 ction.Email:suha140@gmail.com
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Suha Arafat
Ahh, the Nigerian 401 scam. Been around for years. I get these but usually from some late African dictators son, uncle, business partner, whatever.
Here she goes, right here:

Or, better yet, in the "Hall of Shame":

Ahh, the Nigerian 401 scam. Been around for years.
My thoughts exactly. I didn't realize that Mrs. Arafat had moved to Nigeria.
I love the "state of antagonism"!
This should be forwarded to every mosque in America. There would have to be at least a couple of takers...
If you knew Suha
like I know Suha
Oh, oh , oh what a gal!
I hate e-mail scam artists, and most of them are Nigerians who mostly are probably Muslims.
Everytime I get one of these e-mails, I reply back with the a big photo of Satan and the caption that says, "YOU WILL GO TO HELL FOR DECEIVING PEOPLE."
Several Western pro-Palestinian moonbats should be game for this game.
6.5 billions, and all she offers is 20 mill?
She's as cheap and crooked as Yassir.
So typical of her late husband and fellow "Palestinians" - always with one hand out and the knife in the other hand behind the back.
It is simply amazing when I see the variations of this age-old scam. It must be working, however, since when you think about it, how many people are getting on the 'Net for the first time and falling for it?
When I have the time, I enjoy baiting these swindlers by asking them to pay me a token amount to prove they're serious, I dunno, like $5 sent via DHL. (they really, really like DHL for some reason)
So far, I've made $15, learned a lot about Nigeria and have been called many flowery names...kinda cool, actually.
If one traces the IP it often leads back to an Internet Cafe dedicated to the scam...in Nigeria. I guess it's safer than being kidnapped...and more fun, too.

Yes, yes, she needs help. The rent on her Paris penthouse appartment is brutal, and she may actually have to sell off her collection of shoes, that rival that of Imelda Marcos. She may even have to lay off several of her many servants, creating a huge unemployment problem in France. Save France, sent Mrs Arafat money...
/Impale cheek with tongue:
Spencer, you cruel heartless man. How could you think this was anything but a sincere, heartfelt plea from a poor, distraught widow? After all, she's not burdening you with the whole $6.5bn, she just needs help illegally laundering a measly $20m, for her poor orphaned daughter, for pete's sake!!! I mean, really, show some compassion, mate! In the mean time, it's been a while and, you know, she might be getting lonely and, well, er, maybe you have a friend who's at loose ends, and, well, I think that she's probably sending this to you so you can hook her up with a date. Just none of those Jewish or Christian boys, okay?
/Remove tongue from cheek
Shalom,
Theosebes
6.5 BILLION dollars? With that dough palestine would rival Saudi Arabia for wealth. Now you know why I rate the palestinians so lowly-crooks at the top stealing the money while the dummies at the bottom continue to place their faith in them. But then it's always Israel's fault that they're oppressed, right?
That someone should then ask for his share of that $6.5b
By the way, I wonder where that 6.5 billion came from? Oh yeah, people like us sent it, thanks to our wonderful politicians from both parties who'd rather lavish money on the biggest losers in the world rather than spending it on something useful. Like getting us off of oil.
the Moslem community has no regards for woman, hence my desire for a foreign assistance
Someone should forward this to CAIR so they can help Mrs Arafat understand that women are revered in islam.
Why would anyone fall for this?
"And they are not relenting on their effort to make me poor for life."
Join the club. It's called Hard Working Taxpayers Everywhere.
Tell her to go home to her family. Surely she has parents or siblings in the West Bank? (Don't know her heritage)
Interesting.....I received this same email appx 3 years ago.....you would have thought she would have had a few takers by now. BTW, she has always lived in Nigeria....at least thats where her email is from. Now if someone can figure out how to get the money from her without getting into trouble (although there probably isn't any) maybe we could use the money to start a anti-Islam propaganda machine in her name! Better yet, lets find a way for her to come to the West and show us just how philanthropic she can be! "Dollars for Dhimmis" would be a great name for her new TV talk show where she can give her husbands money to those who show their "understanding" for Islam.
"Islamophobes of the world, Unite!"
"Stop Muslim immigration now!"
What one should do with these scams is to take the postage paid return envelope, fill it full of wheel weights and drop it in the mail.
Let the scammers pick up the tab.
D
Obviously she is being treated very un islamic by the true islamcs.
Thats what the scam says ,right?
Especially being the widow of such an islamic leader shouldn't there be some brave and mighty muslim man to marry her and protect her for the rest of her life?
Tsk Tsk ,i guess islamic chivalry is dead.
I would think that with acess to 6.5 billion dollars one could find a rube mush closer to home without having to send out pleas over the internet.
Also wasn't there an ex(?)politician or two(?)that got busted as they were involved in these types of scams over there in Africa?
Perhaps this is just the African version of K street.
Sorry rubes but the widow arafat resides in the west and always has.
Oreganjake...I read somewhere that she lived in a big hotel in Paris, France, but I guess Nigeria is about the same...
a bit o ot,but reports came out that Arafat died of AIDs. so much for for adoring loving gay terrorists.
LMAO@ this nigerian scam copycat...
...a clear and unmistakable sign they're desperate for money, which is how they payoff their terrorists . (follow the money)
LOL
I received over thousand of these 419 emails. One day...I replied, that I needed their full name, complete address and bank account number and information.and I also told this person I needed a photo of him so I know who I was dealing with...and I also told him....I want 4 more pics.....of him completely naked and taken from front, back and both sides...lol. target practice.(darts)
Yassar Arrafat? They called him the Lion Of the Desert. I think that should have been the "Ship of the desert" as he was full of arab semen. I know this is not the point of this post but it is pretty much accepted that he died of AIDS. His body guards came forward after his death and admitted that he would have sex with them on a regular basis.
I digress. What a scam......
Signed Mrs Suha Arafat
Care Of Nigeria.
This is surely a blatant piece of psyops designed to undermine the credibility of the proud and righteous Palestiian people; cooked up by those nasty Joooz...
WHO are the IDIOTS that fall for these 419's?
