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.

My name is Mr ZANDA MANDA. I am the eldest son of Late MR.JOHN ZANDA of
Zuma
district in ZIMBABWE.
This might be a surprise to you on how I got your contact address. It was
from
the ZIMBABWE chamber of commerce. Consequent upon the current war against
farmers
in Zimbabwe by the supporters of President Mugabe, to claim all the white
owned farms
to his party members and his followers, he ordered all white farmers to
surrender their
farm lands to his party members and his supporters.
My dad was one of the richest and well known farmers in Zimbabwe, and due
to the fact
that he did not support such an obnoxious and retrogressive policy of MUGABE
his farm
was invaded by MUGABES thugs and everything in the farm, including my dad
were
destroyed. He died in the process and all the valuables in the farm were
looted and
those they couldn't loot, they destroyed. However, before his death, he
had deposited
with a security firm, the sum of $24m USD {twenty four million United States
dollars} for
safe keeping due to the heat that was turned on the opposition by MUGABE
but the
security company does not know the content of the consignment since he registerred
it
as treasure. It therefore became imperative that we had to move to south
africa, where
he had deposited the money with a security company, which he declared as
valuables
and family treasures. Meanwile, the consignment has been moved by the security
company to their office in switzerland.
I am therefore constrained to make this contact in order to seek your help
in moving this
fund out from the security firm. My status as an asylum seeker does not
permit me to
operate any account in south africa.
My family would be willing to offer you thirty percent (30%) of the total
sum for
your assistance, five percent (5%) will be mapped out for paying back/ compensate
you
for any contingent expenses that may be incurred in the course of the
transaction, while Sixty percent (60%) will be for me and my family,which
we may hope to
reinvest in your country. Only if you would personally assure me that you
would not sit
on this money when transfered into your designated account overseas.
I would be glad to hear from you as soon as you receive this message showing
your
interest to offer your assistance, as time is not on my side. Reach on this
mailbox or any
of the above email addresses.
Thanks and bless you.
Best Regards,
Mr ZANDA MANDA
