ATTN: VICTIMNAME
Thanks for responding to my proposal and for considering assisting us in transferring the funds. You should also consider this opportunity as an avenue for upliftment of our various families putting in mind that our families come first before anything else. Most importantly due to the sensitive posts and positions held by my clients/associates with (ICEP), you will at all times, keep the details of this transaction strictly confidential and without involving a third party as we wish to deal with you alone throughout the durations of this transaction. As, you are aware; I have finalized negotiations/arrangements with he Trust Company responsible for Dormant Account Recovery (DAR) in the United Kingdom to affect the changes on the beneficiary name and to transfer the funds to your nominated bank account.
It may interest you to know that in July of 1997, 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 - 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-bearing transaction accounts. Numbered accounts are also included. Interest is paid on accounts that were interest bearing when established. Since my associates at (ICEP), cannot personally handle it due to sensitive nature of their jobs, they have mandated me to take care of the entire transaction with a complete foreigner who is capable of investing the
funds into viable business ventures. The reason why we need to execute this transaction with a foreigner is to avoid unnecessary exposure. Therefore, there is need for absolute cooperation and confidentiality.
The mode of transfer has been perfectly worked out to ensure a successful and hit free transfer. I have finalized arrangements/negotiations with the Trust Company in the United Kingdom responsible with Dormant Account Recovery (DAR) along with my contacts in (ICEP) Switzerland to legally change the beneficiary name from the person who originally opened the account before World War II to your name as the new beneficiary. The Trust Company will prepare a transfer of ownership from the first party who actually opened the account to the beneficiary name that you will provide. Your physical attention could be required at anytime to lay claims on the funds.
Once the change of ownership is realized, the Trust Company with their good banking relationship/facilities with major banks in the United Kingdom will transfer the entire funds to your nominated bank account in accordance with the beneficiary/banking information that you have provided to them. As soon as the transfer is confirmed in your nominated bank account, I with my associates will be traveling to meet with you in order to share and invest the funds based on the agreement that we shall both sign. Since we shall both monitor the progress of the transaction together, I will have to guide you in all ramifications to ensure a successful completion of the transfer and avoid any mistakes whatsoever.
You will have to furnish me/agree with the following requirements in order for us to ensure a successful transfer of the funds to your nominated bank account.
(1) The complete name, address, contact telephone/fax numbers that you intend to use as the beneficiary including your existing banking information of where the funds will be transferred to. You can as well set up a new bank account for the purpose of this transaction. The bank account information should include bank name, bank address, routing number, account number and account name. I require all the above information so that I can forward the same to the Trust Company to enable them change the beneficiary name to your name as the new beneficiary of the funds and to affect the transfer to your nominated bank account. The above information will also enable me draw up an agreement of how the funds will be shared and invested by both parties and this I will have to fax to you for your review/endorsement.
(2) You will be required to take of the administrative cost required by the Trust Company to process the claims and transfer the funds to your nominated bank account. We believe in a fair deal and these expenses will be deducted and reimbursed to you before sharing.
If you have considered this transaction as something that you can handle, kindly furnish me with the above stated information in your return reply to me. On receipt of the above information from you, it will take not later than 3 working days to conclude the entire arrangements with the Trust Company and after everything is concluded on their end, they will contact you to intimate you with the progress of your claims and the transfer to your nominated bank account.
I will need you to call me on my contact telephone number +27-723121853 so that we can discuss the details of this transaction for your proper understanding and before we proceed. I guarantee that this transfer will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect both of us from any breach of law.
Your genuine commitment is required from you to finalize this transfer since you will benefit enormous benefits after the successful completion of the transfer to your nominated bank account. I want to also thank your interest and willingness to participate in this transaction as I look forward to a long lasting business relationship with you.
Warm regards,
Joseph C. Blank
