The letter was sent to Jarrah's German-born Turkish girlfriend, Aysel Senguen, in the Ruhr River city of Bochum but was returned to the U.S. sender and recently obtained by FBI agents, the magazine reported.

Jarrah is a complete contrast: the good-looking scion of a wealthy Lebanese family, the one person in the Hamburg cell who was most likely to abandon a life of jihadist terrorism for a conventional existence, Jarrah even has a lover, Aysel Senguen, the attractive daughter of Turkish immigrants, for whom he cooks elaborate, alcohol-fuelled meals.
Jarrah placates his family and Aysel, by now his wife, by saying that he is going to leave Hamburg for Florida to learn how to become a pilot, far from the influence of his jihadist buddies.
As the 9/11 plot moves into high gear, Aysel visits her beloved husband in Florida for what is, unbeknown to her, their final carefree moment together.

And it was in Germany that he met Aysel Senguen, a Turkish girl who captured his heart.
But it does leave you with questions — so many that some people have postulated that the actual hijacker was a terrorist who had stolen Jarrah’s identity, rather than Jarrah himself.
The next year, he abruptly changed his course of study from dentistry (which both he and Senguen were studying at a junior college in the town of Greifswald) to aeronautical engineering, and transferred from Greifswald to a university in Hamburg — requiring him to leave Senguen’s apartment, though he continued to visit her on weekends.

Following his move to Hamburg that fall, he began visiting Senguen in Greifswald on weekends, until she moved to the German city of Bochum one year later to enroll in dental school.Around the same time, he began speaking increasingly about religion, and his visits to Senguen became less and less frequent.
These ties may well have caused him to harbor some doubts about going through with the plot,even as late as the summer of 2001, as discussed in chapter 7.
