Subject: REPATRIATION OF UNCLAIMED FUNDS
Dear Friend
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 transactionaccounts.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.You can find additional information about
unclaimed funds at the following websites: http://www.swissbankclaims.com
,http://www.wiesenthal.com
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 during the holocaust era,Leaving no WILL and 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 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.
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 to enable me process the transfer the fund to a secure, offshore
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.
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 security reasons, reply via email only. If you are
interested and capable of handling this transaction,please reply with your
details at: hitb@financier.com
I await your urgent response to this proposal,
My Regards
Mr. Edward Smith
