Dear Friend,
What I relate to you via this message is very urgent but I urge you to
read on for your assistance. There exists a dormant account belonging
to a non-Swiss indigene 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 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 various
government set up committees 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. The Claims
Tribunal handles processing of all claims on accounts due non-Swiss
citizens. A dormant account holder (deceased) with a credit balance of
21,000,000 US dollar plus accumulated interest was discovered by me,
in my bank. The beneficiary was murdered during the holocaust era,
Leaving no WILL and no possible records for trace of heirs. The Claims
Tribunal has been mandated to report all unclaimed funds 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).
Being an insider in the bank, I have all secret details and necessary
contacts for claim of the funds without any hitch. The funds will be
routed via a private financial facility, being a safe haven for the
funds and we can share the funds and use in investment of our choice.
Due to the 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 for transfer of the funds to you, to this regard, you
are expected to fill out a text form. I will pay all required fees to
ensure that the fund is transferred to a secured, numbered account in
your name, where you will be capable of accessing the funds and
gradually transfering to your country and other banks of choice in the
world. You can find additional information about unclaimed funds at
the following websites: http://www.swissbankclaims.com
www.wiesenthal.com
The Claims Processing Office has put funds in Escrow
awaiting submission of valid claims for necessary disbursement.
I find myself priviledged to have this information and this is a great
opportunity of a life time of success without risks. Due to cautious
reasons, reply via email only. You may reply to me securely through
this email address(pbg5@ozu.es)
I await your urgent response to this proposal,
My Regards
Mr. Patrick Berger
