Hello,
CAN YOU BE TRUSTED,
My name is Dr.J.Michael, I am member of Independent Committee of Eminent Persons
(ICEP),London. 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 July of 1997, the Swiss Banker's Association published a list of dormant accounts
originally opened bynon-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 -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-bearingtransaction 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-Swisscitizens.
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 murderedduring the holocaust era, leaving no WILL and no possible records for trace of theirs.

The Claims ResolutionTribunal has been mandated to report all unclaimed funds for permanent closure of accounts and transfer of existing
credit 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 and necessary contacts for claim of the funds without anyhitch.

The funds will be banked in the Holland, London or Spain, being a safe for funds and we can share 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 fortransfer of the funds to you.Kindly provide me with yourfull 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 banks of choice in the world.
My share will be 60 percent and your share is 40 per cent of the total amount. THERE IS NORISK INVOLVED. You can find additional information
