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: THE FAMILY OF Bobeldijk
Attn:Ed Bobeldijk,
I am Barrister Gamba Kingibe, a solicitor at law, personal attorney to Mr.
Kim Bobeldijk, a national of your country, who worked with Shell Development
Company in Republic of Togo. Herein after shall be referred to as my client.
On the 11th of March 2001, my client, his wife and their only daugther
including his driver unfortunately lost there lives in an auto crash on
their way back from Sultan beach in the outskirts Lome, since then I have
made several enquiries to your embassy here to locate any of my client
extended relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to track his last name
to locate any of his relatives hence I have contacted you to assist in
repatriating the fund valued at US$7.2million left behind by my client
before it gets confiscated or declared unserviceable by the finance house
where this huge amount was deposited in a trunk box under the coverage
of family valuables. The said finance house has issued me a notice to
provide the next of kin or have this box confiscated at the end of this year
as they don't know the content of the box.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2years
now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased,
so that the proceeds of this box can be transferred to you.Therefore, on
receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio
and modalities for transfers as I have every necessary information and legal
documents needed to back you up for claim.
All I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this
transaction through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Awaiting your earliest response.
Bar. Gamba Kingibe.
