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.

Dear Sir,
This letter might look obscure or irrelevant to you, but, I, beg of you
to take a little minute of your busy and tight schedule to go through the
content and feel free to disregard the information contained therein,
But, on the other hand, I would appreciate if you find my proposal worth
doing and I did be pleased to establish a good and promising business
relationship with you.
Firstly, I am barrister Wayne Hart, the principal partner of W. T. Hart
&
Associates, A prominent law firm in London, England. Though, I have my
chambers in London, I have numerous clients all over the world. As a
reason to that I am contacting you now.
I received a letter from Ajeokuta Steel Company, informing me that the
payment voucher for the contract my late client executed for them is
ready for payment, and that I should provide them with his next of kin to
claim the money or have it confiscated. It is based on this request that
I am contacting you so that I will present you as the next of kin to my
client, since both of you share the same last name. Prior to this, I have
made an extensive search to locate any of my late client?s family, who
unfortunately died with his wife and a kid on their way to catch a flight
to Australia.
I have all the legal papers that will prove that you are related to him
and will also process and procure any new needed document in the course
of the claim. You are not to fear over this as I am a lawyer and know the
legal implication of my actions and as such will make sure that
everything moves accordingly.
While I hope to have informed you sufficiently and also wait for your
favorable response, I remain,
Yours truly,
pp. W. T. Hart & Associates
Wayne Hart Esq.
Principal Partner
