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: Good Day,
Good Day,
Please accept my sincere apologizes if my email does not meet your business or
personal ethics. I
will first introduce myself as Mr. Nelson Schnieder, a staff in the Private
Clients Section of a
well- known bank, here in London, England. One of our accounts, with holding
balance of
£36,000,000.00 (Thirty Six Million Pounds Sterling) has been dormant and last
operated on three
years ago. From my investigations and confirmation, the owner of the said
account, a foreigner by
name John Shumejda died on the 4th of January 2002 in a plane crash in
Birmingham; you can view
this CNN website
http: //edition.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/europe/01/04/england.plane/ for details on
the crash.
Since then, nobody has done anything as regards the claiming of this money, as
he has no family
member that has any knowledge as to the existence of either the account or the
funds; and also
Information from the National Immigration also states that he was
single on entry into the UK. I have confidently discussed this issue with some
of the
bank officials and we have agreed to find a reliable foreign partner to deal
with. We therefore
propose to do business with you, standing in as the next of kin of these funds
from the deceased
and funds released to you after necessary processes have beenfollowed.
This transaction is totally free of risk and troubles as the fund is legitimate
and does
not originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism or any other illegal act.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 35% of the total amount,
60% will be for me
and the Bank officials, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might have
incurred during this
process.
On your interest, let me hear from you.
Best
Regards,
Nelson Schnieder
