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: Inquiry
Good Day,
I represent a top company executive in
London (U.K). I have a very sensitive and
private brief from this top executive to
ask for your partnership to re-profile
funds over US$25,000,000.00 (Twenty five
Million U.S Dollars).
I will give the details, but in summary,
the funds are coming via a bank in U.K
and this is a legitimate transaction. You
will be paid 22% for
your"management/consultancy Fees", if I
am able to reach terms with you.
If you are able to work to earn those
fees, please write back immediately by
Email and provide me with your
confidential Telephone number, fax and
email address including your full mailing
address and I will provide further
details.
Please keep this close to your chest as
possible as you can; we can not
afford any problems in United
Kingdom. You can respond to me
immediately to my private email address:
wallace_williams4@yahoo.com.cn. so that
we can discuss the terms of this project
before further proceedings.
Regards.
Wallace Williams.
