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: GREETINGS,
GREETINGS,
I am Mother Emily Olivier Jackman an ageing widow suffering from long time
illness and i have decided to render assistance to
the needy as a part of humanitarian services but my situation would not
permit me. Hence, I found your email address in the
internet and I have presently deposited a Cheque in the sum of 5,800,000.00
British Pound with FedEx express to deliver to
you upon your contact with them. You are to receive this money and have it
disposed on my behalf to the less privileges in
your location. And you are to take only 30% for work done and 70% to be disbursed
as charity.
This Charitable offer was agreed between My Husband and I when he was alive,
He died in a Plane crash on Monday the 7th of
September 1998 GMT 14:22 UK while they were flying from New York to Geneva.
Please see site below for more information.

I am sorry to inform you that my communication capacity is very low and i
would not be able to communicate with you on your
next reply.
What you have to do now is to contact the FedEx Delivery SERVICE as soon
as possible to know when they will deliver your
package to you because of the expiring date. For your information, I have
paid for the delivering Charge, Insurance premium
and Clearance Certificate Fee of the Cheque showing that it is not a Drug
Money or meant to sponsor Terrorist attack in your
Country. The only Money you are to pay to FedEx is the Security Keeping Fee
of the Cheque so far (£ 255.34 GBP); I was not
allowed to pay because they do not know when you will be contacting them
for the claim and to avoid unwarranted accumulation
demurrages for you.
Contact Information for the Claim of Your Cheque:
Contact Person: Mr. Mark Robbins
Email Address: fedexukd@live.co.uk
You are to reconfirm the below information to them;
Postal address:
Full Names:
Direct telephone number:
Occupation:
Security Keeping Code of the Cheque: (SCT/0433/UD)
On your contact with them do not hesitate to ask them to provide you with
the method they wish to use in receiving their
security keeping fee of £ 255.34 British Pounds for their immediate action.
Thanks for accepting to do this on my behalf.
Yours Affectionately,
Mother Emily Olivier Jackman
