Dear Sir,

My name is Volker Paul, an executive chairman of
Independent Committee of Eminent Persons (ICEP),
Switzerland.Reference the website below for confirmation

http://www.icep-iaep.org/icep_members.htm

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 January 13 2005,
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 2700 in
july, 2005.

The published lists contain all types of dormant
accounts, including interest-bearing savings accounts,
securities a ccounts, 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 NEUMANN ECKSTEIN with a credit
balance of 11,000,000 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 unprocessed claims 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).

Many people who have full records of their relatives
bank details h ave successfully claimed their inheritance
and paid in full. List of claimants who have been paid are
listed on the website for verification.Visit the website
below to see the list of claimants who have been paid:

http://www.crt-ii.org/_awards/index.phtm

Being a top executive at ICEP, I have all secret details
and necessary contacts to enable you to be validated as
claimant and the fund sent to you without any
PROBLEM. The money will be banked in the Carribean Islands,
being a tax free, safe haven for money and we can both use
it for investment of our choice.

Due to the sensitive nature of my job, I need a partner
outside of switzerland to process the claims as the beneficiary.
All that is required is for you to provide me your details for processing of the
necessary legal, and administrative claim documents for release
of claim amount to you.Provide me with your full name, address, and
telephone/fax. The money will be sent to a secure
account in your name ,because you will be acting as the next
of kin to the deceased person.

The banks in Caribbean Islands have internet banking and telephone
banking facility with electronic wire transfer feature through
the internet and also anonymous ATM debit card. All these features
mean additional security and convenience, so that you can stay in
your country and access the money.

Since i will bear mostly all the expenditures, 60 percent is due to me and 40 per cent of the
total amount is due to you. NO DOCUMENT WILL BE OFFICIALLY SIGNED BY YOU,
HENCE NO LEGAL LIENS OR ENCUMBERANCE OR PROBLEM.

You can find additional information about holocaust money through the
internet at the following websites:

www.swissbankclaims.com


The Holocaust Claims Processing Office has allocated the money for
payment to the beneficiary awaiting submission of valid claims for
necessary disbursement.

I find myself priviledged to have this information and this is a
great opportunity for a life time of success.

For increased privacy, reply to me via email,

Thanks once more for co-operating,


Volker Paul
