Subject: TRAT VERY URGENT PLEASE.

My name is HANS J. BAER, an executive member 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
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 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
track 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 have 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 for claim of the inheritance
with no encumberance. The money will be banked in the Carribean Islands,

being a tax free, safe haven for money and we can share it and use in
investment of our choice.


Due to the sensitive nature of my job, I need a
foreigner to HELP process the claim 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 the inheritance claim to you.

Provide me with your full name, address, and
telephone/fax. The claim amount will be sent to a secure account in
your
name through a bank in the Carribean Island.

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 retrieve the
claims
easily and effortlessly.

Due to expenses which i will incur, i will take 60 percent and you will
receive 40 per cent of the total amount. THERE IS
NO LIENS, ENCUMBERANCES OR PROBLEM INVOLVED.

You can find additional information about unclaimed
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, please reply to me
via email, hansbaer@accountant.com


Thanks once more for co-operating,

Hans J. Baer.
