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.

ASSISTANCE TO INVEST IN YOUR COUNTRY.
DEAREST ONE,
I MISS MARY.AMA, THE ONLY DAUGHTER OF LATE CHIEF LAURENT AMA WHO
WAS THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF COCOA EXPORT CORPORATION (C.E.C.) OF IVORY COAST, OUR COUNTRY. HE WAS KILLED TWO YEARS AGO BY THE REBEL FORCES IN
THIS LINGERING POLITICAL CRISIS IN OUR COUNTRY. HOWEVER, BEFORE HIS
DEATH, HE HAD INFORMED ME OF HIS DEPOSITS OF $3,700,000. (THREE MILLION,
SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS)IN A SUSPENSE ACCOUNT IN ONE OF THE
BIG BANKS HERE IN ABIDJAN. AND I HAVE SINCE VERIFIED THIS FACT WITH
AVAILABLE DOCUMENTS. AND I HAVE DECIDED TO ESCAPE FROM THIS COUNTRY WITH THIS MY FATHER'S MONEY IN THE BANK HERE, BECAUSE OF THE VIOLENT POLITICAL CRISIS.
SO I AM WRITING TO ASK FOR YOUR HELP IN THE CLAIM AND TRANSFER OF THIS
MONEY TO YOUR COUNTRY. I INTEND TO INVEST THIS MONEY IN REAL ESTATE AND
TELECOMMUNICATION, AS YOU MAY DIRECT, WHEN I COME OVER TO YOUR COUNTRY, THOUGH MY GREATEST DESIRE IS TO GO TO A UNIVERSITY AS YOU HELP ME TO INVEST THE MONEY IN PROFITABLE VENTURES.
I AM WILLING TO OFFER YOU 15 % OF THE TOTAL MONEY AS COMPENSATION. THIS MESSAGE IS BETWEEN YOU AND I ONLY, AND YOU SHOULD TREAT IT AS SUCH.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME AS YOU
FINISH READING THIS MESSAGE.
THANKS AND GOD BLESS.
MISS. MARY.AMA
