Dear Friend,
What I relate to you via this message is very urgent but I urge you to
read on for your assistance. 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 Claims Tribunal handles processing of
all claims on accounts due non-Swiss
citizens. A dormant account holder (deceased) with a credit balance of
21,000,000 US dollar plus accumulated interest was discovered by me, in my
bank. The beneficiary was murdered intestate during the holocaust era,
Leaving no possible records for trace of heirs. The Claims 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 intestate (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.
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, to this regard, you are expected to fill out a
text form aftter your acknowledgement to this proposal. I will pay all
required fees to
ensure that the fund is transferred to a secured, numbered account in your
name, where
you will be capable of accessing the funds and gradually transfering to your
country and other banks of choice in the world. You can find additional
information about unclaimed funds at the following websites:
http://www.swissbankclaims.com www.wiesenthal.com
The 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 is a great
opportunity of a life time of success without risks. Due to cautious
reasons, reply via email only at this private maill box
alberik_bergren@yahoo.com I await your urgent response to this proposal,
My Regards
Mr. Alberik Bergren
