Dear Sir/Ma,
My name is Dr Hassan Duru ,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 proccess the 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.
I await Your Urgent Response.
Warmest Regards
Dr Hassan Duru
