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: FOU YOUR KIND ATTENTION.
Dear Friend,
I greet you in the Name that is above all names, as
you read this; I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is Shdak Shari, a merchant in Dubai,in
the U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with lung cancer.
It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only
about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not particularly
lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself)
but my business.
Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people
and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for.
But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than
just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.
I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would
live my life a different way from how I have lived it.
Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property
and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few
close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul, I have
decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one
of the last good deeds, I ever do on earth. So far, I have distributed money
to some charity Organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia.
Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore.
I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and distribute
the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan;
they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them
anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left for them.
The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit in Europe
whort eighteen Million US dollars (US$18,000,000.00) that I have with a
deposit company abroad.
Acknowledge this message so that I can introduce you to my lawyer who will
handle the transfer of receivership by you of the above said funds.
I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to charity
organizations. My lawyer shall put you in the picture of the funds, tell
you where the funds are currently being maintained and also discuss modalities
including remuneration for your services.
For this reason kindly furnish your contact information, that is your address,
personal telephone and fax number for confidential purpose to my personal
mail box.
E-mail:shdakshari@netscape.net
God be with you.
Mr.Shdak Shari.
