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.

Dear Sir,
Permit to introduce myself, my name is Ishmael Zulu. I work with Standard
Bank of South Africa Limited as (The Assistant Auditor).
In the discharge of my duty, I stumbled on this domiciliary account that has
remained dormant for three years now with five million five hundred thousand
dollars (US$5.5m) in it.
I contacted my director and we sent out staff for enquires and discovered
that the account holder died in an accident. I am writing you so that we can
work together to remit this fund to you as the next of kin because this fund
belongs to a foreigner and has to be claimed by a foreigner.
I guarantee this transaction under a legitimate arrangement that will not
breach the law by both parties, it is simply process which will take a short
while to process.
If I hear from you, I will tell you all you need to know about this fund.
You will get 40% share when transferred and 60% for us here.
N: B; Please reply to my fax number above.
Best regards,
Mr. Ishmael Zulu
