Subject: CAN YOU BE TRUSTED

Hello,


CAN YOU BE TRUSTED
My name is Dr.J.Micheal, I am member of Independent Committee of
Eminent Persons (ICEP),London.

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 Hami Ramzy with a
credit balance of 15,800,000 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 theirs. 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
the Holland, London or Spain, being a safe for funds and we can share the
funds and use in 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. For
the fund to be transferred to a secure, numbered account in your name
and country via any of the corresponding banks in London or Spain, of which
you will be capable of accessing the funds gradually and transferring
to your country and other banks of 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
fund sthrough the internet at the following websites:

The Holocaust Claims Processing Office has put funds in Escrow awaiting
submission of valid claims for necessary disbursement, I find myself
privileged
to have this information and this may be a great opportunity for a life
time of success without risks.
Thanking you in anticipation for your prompt response.

Regards
Dr.J.Micheal.
