Fraud email example:

From: "DR ISRAEL SINGER" <dr_singer222@marsool.com>
Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2006 07:23:40 +0300
Subject: _INDEPENDENT COMITTEE OF EMINENT PERSONS


_INDEPENDENT COMITTEE OF EMINENT PERSONS
SWITZERLAND.
FROM THE DESK OF DR ISRAEL SINGER

Dear,
My name is DR ISRAEL SINGER , 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 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 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 dollar plus accumulated interest was discovered by me. (living no
wills).
Many people who have full records of their relatives bank details have
successfully claimed their inheritance and paid in full.Visit the website below
to see the list of claimants who have been paid:

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

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.


Due to expenses which i will incur, i will take 60 percent and you will receive
40 per cent .

For increased privacy, please reply to me via email,
dr_singer777@yahoo.com

Thanks once more for co-operating,
DR ISRAEL SINGER .
