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.

Hello,
Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not meet your personal ethics.
I am, by introduction, a branch manager of one of the most reputable financial
institutions here in the United Kingdom and my name is Clem Stevens.
One of our accounts at the headquarters with
holding balance of 15,000,000(Fifteen Million British Pounds) has been dormant
and has not been operated for the past 4 years. From my investigations and
Confirmations, the owner of this account a foreigner by name Austin Martin
died in August 2000 and since then nobody has done anything as regards the
claiming of this money because he has no family members who are aware of
the existence of neither the account nor the funds. Also information From
the National Immigration states that he was also single on entry into the
UK.
I must tell you at this junction that i am this
informed about this whole affair because i used to be the accouts manager
to the late customer at the headquarters. I have since been promoted a branch
manager of one of our branches here. I thus propose to do business with you,
standing in as the next of kin of these funds from the deceased and funds
will then be released to you after due processes have been followed. You
will be required to provide a bank account to receive these funds. We can
use your existing bank account or you may establish a fresh account for this
purpose, even an empty bank account will do. Only ensure it is an account
that you have full control over. I, as an insider, will guide you through
all official procedure till the final remittance of the total inheritance
fund into your nominated offshore account. Thereafter at the end of a successful
transfer, we will share the funds at a ratio to be discussed and agreed upon
later. I am hoping that you will indeed prove trustworthy and reliable, however
I intend to transfer only 5 million pounds first and when you have proved
your capability in handling this, will then transfer the balance of 10 million.
Note that this is legitimate as the fund does not originate from drug, money
laundry, terrorism or any other illegal act, all which is required here to
ensure success is commitment, sincerity and ability and willingness to handle
this with utmost confidentiality.
I am hoping that you will not disappoint me now or in the
future. Note that at the end of a successful transfer of the initial 5 million
pounds, i will come over to your country for my share. And also at the end
of a successful transfer of the balance 10 million, i will also come over
for my share and possible investment in your country. On receipt of this
mail, reach me if you are willing to do this with me, i will in turn give
you further details on modalities to ensure a hitch-free transfer. Do include
your private phone numbers for more confidential discussions on your response.
I wait to hear from you soonest.
Best regards,
C. Stevens.
