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 friend,
I am Dr. Kunle Davids, a solicitor. I am
The personal attorney to Engr. P.M Smith,
A national of your country, possibly
Could be your brother, who used to
Work with Oando Petroleum Development Company [West Africa],Cotonou
Branch hereinafter shall be referred to as my client. In
2003, my client, his wife and their two children were involved in a plane
crash in a
village called Adjarra near Porto Novou after take off from Cotonou
here in Benin Republic.
It was unfortunate that my client and his fanily all lost their lives
in the crash.For more on the plane crash logon to

Since then I have made several enquiries at your
embassy here in Cotonou and Porto Novou to locate any of my clients
extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided
to track his last name over the internet, to locate
any member of his family hence I contacted you. I
have contacted you to assist in repatriating the
money and property left behind by my client before
they get confiscated, frozen or declared unserviceable
by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Eco Bank International where the
deceased had an account valued at about eighteen million
dollars[USD18,000,000:00]. The management has issued me a notice to provide
the next
of kin or have the account frozen within the next twenty
official working days. Since I have been unsuccessful
in locating the relatives for over 2 years now i seek
your consent to present you as the next of kin of the
deceased since you have the same last name so that the
proceeds of this account valued at USD18,000,000:00 can
be paid to you and then you and me can share the
money. 60% to me and 40% to you. I have all the
necessary legal documents that can be used to back up
any claim we may make.
And this I must do to make sure that this fund is not
Wasted or end up in the wrong hands. All I require is
your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under
a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the law.
I am awaiting your urgent reply, preferably through kunle_davids76@yahoo.com
Best regards,
Dr. Kunle Davids
