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: hello
From: 99 Queen Street, Melbourne
VIC 3000, Australia.
Date: July 27th, 2004
YOUR ATTENTION:
My name is Mr John David, Head of Securities,
Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Melbourne
I am contacting you on business transfer of a huge sum
of money from a deceased account. Though I know that a
transaction of this magnitude will make any one
apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that
all will be well at the end of the day. We decided to
contact you due to the urgency of this transaction.
We discovered a Huge abandoned sum in an account that
belongs to one of our foreign customers who died along
with his entire family. Since his death, none of his
next-of-kin or relations has come forward to lay
claims for this money as the heir.
We cannot release the fund from his account unless
someone applies for claim as the next-of-kin to the
deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines.
Upon this discovery, we now seek your permission to
have you stand as a next of kin to the deceased as all
documentations will be carefully worked out by me for
the funds to be released in your favour as the
beneficiary next of kin. It may interest you to know
that we have secured from the probate an order of
madamus to locate any of deceased beneficiary. Please
acknowledge receipt of this message in acceptance of
our mutual business endeavour by furnishing me with
your full names, address and direct contact numbers.
These requirements will enable us file letter of claim
to the appropriate departments for necessary approvals
in your favour before the transfer can be made.We
shall be compensating you with a million dollars on
final conclusion of this project, while the rest shall
be for us. Your share stays while the rest shall be
for us for investment purposes. If this proposal is
acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the
trust we have bestowed in you, I await your urgent
mail.
Please reply to EMAIL: mrjd22000@yahoo.co.uk, I will
introduce myself fully pending your response.
Regards,
John David.
