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: BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Dear friend,
Please accept my apology for contacting you this way, which was due to the urgency of my request. I got your contact from an enquiry I placed at the Chamber of Commerce, Trade and Industry.
I and my partners are in need of a worthy business partner abroad, who can handle the investment of specified funds which have been lying fallow for sometime. If you accept to work with us, you would be our foreign partner to receive the said funds on our behalf, due to our sensitive position in OUR PLACE OF WORK, and also to hold it in some investment until we can travel to meet with you. At your request I will intimate you with the blueprint when I receive your mail.
NOTE: PLEASE FORWARD YOUR REPLY ONLY TO THIS MAIL BOX STATED HERE: sal_joma@mail2world.com for security reasons and make sure you include your private telephone number for easy communication.
Hoping to hear from you soon. Thank you for your anticipated prompt response.
My regards.
Dr. Samuel Nujoma (PhD)
