Subject: CAN YOU BE TRUSTED?

Hello,
CAN YOU BE TRUSTED,
My name is Dr.J.Michael, I am member of Independent Committee of Eminent
Persons (ICEP),London. ICEP is chargedwith the responsibility of finding bank
accounts in Switzerland belonging to non-Swiss indigenes, which haveremained dormant
since World War II. It may interest you toknow that in July of 1997, the Swiss Banker's Association
published a list of dormant accounts originally opened bynon-Swiss citizens. These accounts had been
dormant sincethe end of World War II (May 9, 1945). Most belonged toHolocaust victims.

The continuing efforts of the IndependentCommittee of Eminent Persons(ICEP)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,
safede posit 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 Hami Ramzy with acredit balance of 18,800,000 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 theirs.
The Claims ResolutionTribunal has been mandated to report all unclaimed fundsfor permanent closure of accounts and transfer of existingcredit
balance into the treasury of Switzerland governmentas provided by the law for management of assets of deceased beneficiaries who died interstate
living no wills).Being atop executive at ICEP, I have all secret details andnecessary contacts for claim of the funds without anyhitch.

The funds will be banked in theHolland, London or Spain, being a safe for funds and we canshare the funds
and use in investment of our choice. Due tothe 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.Kindly provide me with your full name, address, and telephone/fax. For the fund to be transferred to a secure,
numbered account in your name and country via any of the corresponding banks in London or Spain, of which you will be capable of accessing
the funds gradually and transferring to your country and other banksof choice in the world. My share will be 60 percent andyour share is 40 per cent of the total amount.
THERE IS NORISK INVOLVED. You can find additional information aboutunclaimed funds through the internet at the followingwebsites:

disbursement, I find myself privileged to have this information and this may be a great opportunity for a life time of success without risks.
