That’s easy to answer. First of all, it’s a good story. It is exactly the kind of legend that the Africans and others love to use. Secondly, the writer tries to convince you that he actually is a “top executive”. And thirdly, one freemail address to send the message and one to receive the replies.

There are a couple of other points, but I don’t want these boys to know everything I know, do I?

ATTN.,

My name is Lawrence Eagleburger 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’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
-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 Resolution Tribunal (CRT)
handles processing of all claims on accounts due non-Swiss citizens. A
dormant account of ORDNER ADELE with a credit balance of 11,500,000 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 theirs. 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 secret details and necessary
contacts for claim of the funds without any hitch. The funds will be banked
in the Holland or London, being a safe 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. for
further information 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 the world. My share will be

60 percent and your share is 40 per cent of the total amount. THERE IS NO
RISK INVOLVED. You can find additional information about unclaimed funds
through the internet at the following websites:

The Holocaust Claims Processing Office has put funds in Escrow awaiting
submission of valid claims for necessary disbursement, I find myself
privileged to have this information and this may be a great opportunity for
a life time of success without risks. Due to security reasons, reply to me
via email only. You may reply to me securely on the following email,

Thank you for your prompt response.

or so it seems. Of course, this story is not true.

PS: Why do these people write with capitals? I have not found an answer to that, but it seems Africans prefer to use capitals for some reason or other. Maybe it’s more impressive that way. What do you think?
