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.

FROM:DR. MICHEAL ADAMS,
DO YOU STILL WISH TO RECEIVE YOUR OVER DUE CONTRACT ENTITLEMENT, LOTTERY AND
INHERITANCE ACCRUED INTEREST OF
US$2,531,251?.
Be informed that the Commonwealth Office is particularly surprised by
constant petitions from many beneficiaries in
various countries complaining long-delays on payments of their Accrued
Interest Fund. And, that they wasted so much money in the pursuit of this
entitlement/inheritance Fund. Also, there are cases whereby two or three
people are applying for the same Funds.
Therefore, we have resolved and instructed that all Funds shall be released,
through maximum supervision of the
Commonwealth Audits and Financial Management Authority (CAFMA) in
collaboration with our paying Bank.
We will forward the required information to you a soon as your reply is
received by this office.
Congratulations in Advance.
Yours faithfully,
MR. MICHEAL ADAMS
HEAD OF OPERATIONS.
COMMONWEALTH AUDITS AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY (CAFMA).
