Subject: HOLOCAUST VICTIM/UNCLAIMED FUND
RE: UNCLAIMED FUNDS
What I relate to you via this message is very urgent but I urge you to read
on for your benefit. There exists a dormant account belonging to a non-Swiss
indigene 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 various government set up committees 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 Tribunal
handles processing of all on accounts due non-Swiss citizens. You can find
additional information about unclaimed funds at the following websites:
http://www.swissbank.com, http://www.wiesenthal.com
A dormant account with safe deposit of 65,000,000 US dollar was discovered
by me. The beneficiary was murdered during the holocaust era, leaving no
WILL and no possible records for trace of heirs. The 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 an insider in the
bank, I have all secret details and necessary contacts for claim of the
funds without any hitch. The funds will be routed via a private financial
facility, being a safe haven for the funds and we can share the funds and
use in investment of our choice.
All that is required is for you to provide me with your details for
processing of the necessary legal documents for transfer of the funds to
you, to this regard, you are expected to fill out a text form to enable me
process the transfer of the fund to a secure, offshore numbered account in
your name, where you will be capable of accessing the funds and gradually
transferring to your country and other banks of choice in the world.
The Processing Office has put funds in Escrow, awaiting submission of valid
for necessary disbursement. I find myself privileged to have this
information and this is a great opportunity of a lifetime of success without
risks. If you are interested and capable of handling this transaction,
please reply with your details at: un_intell@swissinfo.org
I await your urgent response to this proposal.
My Regards
Mr. Edward Smith
