The Claims Resolution Tribunal for Dormant Accounts in Switzerland
Badenerstrasse 141
Postfach 7589
8023 Zurich , Switzerland .


Dearest Friend,

Dr. Volker Paul is my name, 80 years of age; I am the executive Chairman of Independent Committee of Eminent Persons (ICEP), Switzerland . Reference the website below for confirmation

http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/volckmem.html

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 January 13 2005, 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 2700 in July, 2005.The published lists contain all types of dormant accounts, including interest-bearing savings accounts, securities a 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.

The Claims Resolution Tribunal (CRT) handles processing of all claims on accounts due non-Swiss citizens. A dormant account of NEUMANN ECKSTEIN with a credit balance of 9,800,000 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 heirs. The Claims Resolution Tribunal has been mandated to report all unprocessed claims for permanent closure of accounts and transfer of existing credit balance into the treasury of Switzerland government as provided by the law for management of assets of deceased beneficiaries who died interstate (living no wills).

Many people who have full records of their relative bank details have successfully claimed their inheritance and paid in full. List of claimants who have been paid are listed on the website for verification. Visit the website below to see the list of claimants who have been paid:

http://www.crt-ii.org/_awards/index.phtm

Being a top executive at ICEP, I have all secret details and necessary contacts to enable you to be validated as claimant and the fund sent to you without any PROBLEM. Due to the sensitive nature of my job, I need a partner outside of Switzerland to process the claims as the beneficiary. All that is required is for you to provide me your details for processing of the necessary legal and administrative claim documents for release of claim amount to you.

TERMS OF PARTNERSHIP INTEREST:

*You must have business acumen with minimum of three years experience directly or otherwise.
*You must have attained the age of thirty {30} and above.
*You must be well grounded in any of the locations of, Asia, Europe, African Coast, Middle East , America, Australia and the United Kingdom to facilitate your ability to arrange relocation and establishment empowerment.

The money will be sent to a secure account in your name, because you will be acting as the next of kin to the deceased person. Since I will bear expenditures, 60 percent is due to me and 40 per cent of the total amount is due to you. NO DOCUMENT WILL BE OFFICIALLY SIGNED BY YOU, HENCE NO LEGAL LIENS OR ENCUMBERANCE OR PROBLEM.

The Holocaust Claims Processing Office has allocated the money for payment to the beneficiary awaiting submission of valid claims for necessary disbursement. The below information is needed for confirmation from you for the easy and effectiveness to the procession by the Holocaust processing center Switzerland :

1} Full name
2} Contact Address
3} Full scanned page of your international passport or any verifiable ID
