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.

MALCOLM $ ASSOSCIATES,
57 Markham Street
London SW3 3NR United Kingdom
ATTENTION:
I am Barrister Thomas Malcom, the personal
Attorney to Mr. Jung Stevenson a foreigner who used
to work with Mekon Associates Company in London. On
the 2nd of August 2003, my client, his wife and
their three children were involved in a car accident
along Manchester Bolton Road.
All occupants of the vehicle unfortunately lost
their lives. Since then I have made several
enquiries to his Embassy to locate any of my
clients extended relatives, this has also
proved unsuccessful. After these several
unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his
relatives over the internet, to locate any member of
his family but of no avail, hence I contacted you.
I have contacted you to assist me in repatriating
the money left behind by my client before they got
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Finance
House where these huge deposits were lodged.
Particularly, the Finance House where the deceased
had an account valued at about Thirty Million five hundred thousand united states dollars. has issued me
a notice to provide the next-of-kin or have the
account confiscated within the next ten official
working days. Since I have been unsuccessful in
locating the relatives for over nine (9) months now,
I seek your consent to present you as the next of
kin to the deceased so that the proceeds of this
account valued at Thirty Million five hundred thousand
united states dollars can be paid to you and then
you and I can share the money; 60% to me and 35% to
you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your
government may required.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be
used to back up any claim we may make, all I require
is your honest co-operation to enable us see this
transaction through. I guarantee that this will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law.
Please get in touch with me immediately you acknowledge the good receipt of this message.
Anticipating your prompt response.
Yours Sincerely,
Barr. Thomas Malcolm
