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.

Greetings From Chief Executive Officer Of Retail Division
H.B.O.S Plc Edinburgh EH3 9PE
website: www.hbosplc.com
Greetings,
I am Mr. Andy Hornby, Chief Executive Officer Of Retail Division (H.B.O.S) I understand that through Internet is not the best way to link up with you because of the confidentiality which my proposal demands. However, I have already sent you this same letter by post one month ago,but I am not sure if it did get to you since I have not heard from you,hence my resending it again.
I discovered a dormant account in my office, as Group director with Halifax Bank of Scotland. It will be in my interest to transfer this fund worth Thirty Million pounds in an account offshore. If you can be a collaborator to this please indicate interest immediately for us to proceed. In this case you'll be my foreign partner. I shall feed you with full details of this transaction upon receipt of your reply towards this proposal. Your contact phone number will be necessary in this regard.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Mr. Andy Hornby
Chief Executive Officer Of Retail Division,
Halifax Bank of Scotland
