Subject: From Mr Williams Johnson,Let Achieve This Goal Together, Reply Me ASAP.

ATTN:PARTNER.
My name is WILLIAMS JOHNSON a
member of Independent
Committee of Eminent
Persons
(ICEP), Switzerland. 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'sAssociation 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.

Thepublished 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 Resolution Tribunal (CRT) handles processing of all
claimson accounts due non-Swiss citizens.
A dormant account of ORDNER ADELE with a credit balance of 45,000,000 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 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 a top executive at ICEP, I have all secretdetails and necessary
contacts for claim of the funds without any hitch. The funds will be banked
in the Holland Or London, being a safe haven for 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. Kindly provide me with your full name,
address, and telephone/fax.I will pay all required fees to ensure that the
fund is transferred to a secure, numbered account in your name in the
Holland Or London, of which you will be capable of accessing the funds
gradually and transferring to your country and other banks of choice in
theworld. My share will be 60%percent and your share is 40%percent of the
total amount.THERE IS NO RISK INVOLVED.

submission of valid claims for necessary disbursement. I find myself

a life time of success without risks. Due to security reasons, reply to my
