Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Subject: GOOD BUSINESS
Dear Sir,
My name is Engineer John Olawale. I am the Chairman, Contract Award and
Payment Committee, Presidency-Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Sir, Even though we have not met or hardly known ourselves, but I have
the pleasure of making this business deal to you. I am in the Contract
Award/Payment office. Our duty in this office is to verify,
authenticate and approve for payment all contractors that have executed
contracts for the Federal Government between 1998 and 2003.
Meanwhile, one of the basic non-negotiable condition for paying such
contractors is an evidence of proof of paying to the government the
Education Tax fund without taking this amount from the contract amount
or source by the Federal Government of Nigeria(it is so here). However,
I found out that most contractors do not have the impetus or arsenal to
make this upfront payment and as a result they abndon their payment
claims. Now, apart from the above scenario, there is a particular
client Mr. Steve Wallila from Ohio whose contract amounts and
particulars are Contract#: FGN/FMWH-269/99, AMOUNT IS USs$75MILLION.
Unfortunately this man has passed on and without any known next of
kin(that was after fruitless search to reach him). The idea now is that
I want to use you as a front to collect this money(his contract
payment) and we shall share it in a 50-50 ratio. For this to happen I
am ready to finance and bankroll the Education tax fee which is 1% of
the contract amount(i.e 1% of US$75million), using an American
Investor. Nevertheless, to qualify for this deal you have to have the
following: (a) A company bank account or any other account that has
evidence of a regular and consistent transaction domicilled in America.
(b) In addittion you must be transparent and honest.
Please, if this deal interests you, get in touch as we must consumate
it in less than a week from the day you receive it. Note once again
that you are not paying any upfront fees to me or anyone else, all
expenses to be incured will be from my side.
Regards,
John Olawale.
