From The Desk of Independent Committee of
Eminent Persons (ICEP), Switzerland.

Attention:

Dear

My name is Mr RICHARD NELSON a member of Independent
Committee of
Eminent Persons (ICEP), Switzerland. ICEP is charged
with the responsibility of finding bank accounts in
Switzerland belonging to non-Swiss indigenes, which
have remained dormant since World War II.
It may interest you to know that in July of 1997, the
Swiss Banker's
Association published a list of dormant accounts
originally opened by
non-Swiss citizens. These accounts had been dormant
since the end of World War II (May 9, 1945). Most
belonged to Holocaust victims.
The continuing efforts of the Independent Committee of
Eminent Persons
(ICEP) have since resulted in the discovery of
additional dormant
accounts - 54,000 in December, 1999.
The published lists contain all types of dormant
accounts, including
interest-bearing savings accounts, securities
accounts, safe deposit
boxes, custody accounts, and non-interest-bearing
transaction accounts.
Numbered accounts are also included. Interest is paid
on accounts that
were interest bearing when established.
The Claims Resolution Tribunal (CRT) handles
processing of all claims
on accounts due non-Swiss citizens. A dormant account
of ORDNER ADELE
with a credit balance of 50,000,000 US dollar plus
accumulated interest
was discovered by me. The beneficiary was murdered
during the holocaust
era, leaving no WILL and no possible records for trace
of heirs.
The Claims Resolution Tribunal has been mandated to
report all
unclaimed funds for permanent closure of accounts and
transfer of existing credit balance into the treasury
of Switzerland government as provided by the law for
management of assets of deceased beneficiaries who
died interstate (living no wills).
Being a top executive at ICEP, I have all secret
details and necessary
contacts for claim of the funds without any hitch. The
funds will be
banked in a bank in U.A.E Dubia or Spain or france,
being a tax free country, where we can safely withdrew
the funds and we can share the funds and use it for
investment of our choice.
Due to the sensitive nature of my job, I need a
foreigner to HELP claim the funds.
All that is required is for you to provide me with
your details for processing of the necessary legal and
administrative claim documents for transfer of the
funds to you.

Kindly provide me with your full name, address, and
telephone/fax.
I will pay all required fees to ensure that the fund
is transferred to a secure, numbered account in your
name in an internet Bank , of which you will be
capable of accessing the funds gradually and
transferring to your country and other banks of your
choice in the world. My share will be 60 percent and
your share is 40 per cent of the total amount. THERE
IS NO RISK INVOLVED.
You can find additional information about unclaimed
funds through the
internet at the following websites:

www.icheic.org
www.livingheirs.com
www.wiesenthal.com
The Holocaust Claims Processing Office has put funds
in Escrow awaiting
submission of valid claims for necessary disbursement.

I find myself priviledged to have this information and
this may be a
great opportunity for a life time of success without
risks.
Due to security reasons, reply to my via email only.

me securely on the following
