Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Dr Alfred Dome,the Chairman of the Independent
Committee of Unclaimed Foreign Funds (ICUFF). ICUFF is charged with the
responsibility of finding foreign bank accounts belonging to our indigenes,
which have
remained dormant since the Holocaust .
It may interest you to know that In July 2000, the Netherland
Banker's Association published a list of dormant accounts originally
opened by our own citizens.
These accounts had been dormant since the end of the holocaust and
most of which belong to holocaust victims. The continuing efforts of the
Independent Committee of Unclaimed Foreign Funds (ICUFF) have since
resulted in the discovery of additional 459 dormant accounts in April,2005.
The published lists contain all types of accounts and i discovered a
dormant account of ADELE ODNER with a credit balance of 21,000,000.00
US dollar plus accumulated interest The beneficiary was murdered during
the holocaust era, leaving no WILL and no possible records for trace of
heirs.
Claims Proccessing Office have been mandated to report all unclaimed
funds for transfer of existing credit balance into the treasury of the
Netherland government as provided by the law for management of assets
of
deceased eneficiaries who died intestate (sic) (living no wills).
Meanwhile Being a top executive at ICUFF, I have put in all the
machineries to put claim over these funds in the Bank in Netherland,
and also to make you the bonafide beneficiary to the deceased and at the
end transfer this fund to your foreign account in your country without any
problems/risk associated with the claim.
Directives and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as
you indicate your interest and willingness to assist me and also benefit
from this great business opportunity.
I could have done this deal on my own, but because of my position
in this country operating a local account would
eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer
because I work in the Committee of Unclaimed Foreign Funds (ICUFF).
Based on your sincere committment and honest guidance as a
professional
in business, I intend to invest my share of the total funds in your
company/country with you as the manager, pending on my resignation from
the ( ICUFF). 5% of the fund will be set aside for expenses incured during
the business and finally, 5% would be mapped out for Charity donations,here
in Africa and other continents.There after I will visit your country for
disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Also I am willing to give you 30% for your pledged assistance in the
transfer of this funds to your account pending my visit to your
country.
I want to assure you that all will be done in such a away that
your role will be 100% risk free.
Provide me with your full name, address, telephone/fax and account
information for the transfer of the funds to you. I will pay all
required legal/handling fees here in the Republic of Benin to proccessthe
needed
legal documents/authorities to back up your claim in the
Netherland from where you can now start accessing and transferring this
funds to your country and other banks of your choice in the world.
As soon as I get this we will be able to process the needed
documents and transfer the funds to your Account in 7 working days.
I want you to call me on:+229-97160623 if you can.
Thank you for your prompt response.
Warmest Regards
Dr Alfred Dome
