HOLOCAUST FUNDS FROM Zvi Barak
COMPLIMENTS OF THE DAY

Attention: ,

My name is Zvi Barak, an executive member 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 indigines, which have remained dormant since
World
War 11.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 11 (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 2,700 dormant
accounts in July, 2005. The published list contain all types of dormant
accounts including interest-bearing savings account, 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 claims on accounts due non-Swiss
citizens.

A dormant account of NEUMANN ECKSTEIN with a credit balance of
$11,000,000
US Dollars 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 relatives? 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. The money
will be
banked in the Caribbean Island, being a tax free, safe haven for money
and
we can both use it for investment of our choice. 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. Provide me with your full name,
address, and
telephone/fax. 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.

The banks in the Caribbean Island have internet banking and telephone
banking facility with electronic wire transfer feature through the
internet
and also anonymous ATM debit card. All these features mean additional
security and convenience, so that you can stay in your country and
access
the money. Since I will bear expenditures, 60 percent is due to me and
40
percent of the total amount is due to you. NO DOCUMENT WILL BE
OFFICIALY
SIGNED BY YOU, HENCE NO LEGAL TRACE LIENS OR ENCUMBERANCE OR PROBLEM.
You
can find additional information about Holocaust money through the
internet
at the following websites (www.swissbankclaims.com) The Holocaust
Claims
Processing Office has allocated the money for payment to the
beneficiary
awaiting submission of valid claims for necessary disbursement. I find
myself privileged to have this information and this is a great
opportunity
for a lifetime of success. For increased privacy, reply to me via email

Thanks once more for co-operating
Zvi Barak
