Subject: Martin Mayer & Associates
Top of the Day to you.
I am Mr. Martin Mayer (Esq), a member of the Independent Committee of
Eminent Persons (ICEP) charged with the responsibility of finding bank
accounts in Europe belonged to Holocaust Victims, which have remained
dormant since World War II and also the legal counsel to a deceased Resident
Holocaust Victim, who died intestate in the United Kingdom on the 21st of
June 2002 before I could conclude his claims. I urge you read the following
content and confirm your position to me afterwards.
It may interest you to know that in July of 1997, the Swiss banker's
association published a list of dormant accounts, including interest-bearing
savings accounts, securities accounts, safety deposit boxes, custody
accounts, and non-interest-bearing transaction accounts originally opened
since the end of World War II, most belonged to holocaust victims.
The continuing efforts of the ICEP have since resulted in the discovery of
additional dormant accounts -54,000 in December 1999, amongst these accounts
waiting submission is the dormant safety deposit box account of my late
client whose last name tallies with yours and I have currently put a hold on
it for more investigation before it released to the Claims Resolution
Tribunal for liquidation, given me the much needed avenue to get in touch
with you to see if you can stand in as the beneficiary to the estates of my
deceased client and lay claims to these funds as the surviving next of kin
to my deceased client before it is liquidated.
Being an executive at Independent Committee of Eminent Persons (ICEP) and
also legal counsel to a deceased Holocaust Victim in question, I am privy
certain key information that will help us keep this sum to ourselves. The
deceased did not have an easily identifiable next of Kin as I have made
several enquiries to locate any of his relatives, this has proved
unsuccessful, After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track
his last name over the Internet, to locate any member of his family, hence
my contact with you. Since I have been unsuccessful in locating any of his
relatives for over two years and convinced that no one is coming forth, and
haven satisfied the mandatory legal requirement of Beneficiary/next of kin
Notification, I now seek your reliable and trustworthy assistance, and with
your consent and perfect understanding, present you as the next of kin of
the deceased so that the proceeds of this investment, interest inclusive can
be release to you as the
perceived Next of Kin, legally and otherwise.
Please provide your full name and address for the purpose of processing all
the necessary claim documents (legal and administrative) that shall lead to
your being named as the beneficiary and subsequent claim request will lead
to the release of the sum to you through a means we will both decide upon,
of which we will be capable of accessing the funds and transferring it to
any other of our choice. I will let you know more about this only if I hear
favourably from you.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Martin Mayer (Esq),
Principal Attorney, Martin Mayer & Associates.

London, United Kingdom.
