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.

Dear Sir/Madam,
We are small new firm engaged in export of goods to overseas outside my country.We
have won various small exports contract at one time or the other,recently
we were (engaged) contracted to supply cocoa, and dried natural rubber to
tire manufacturing companies in Peru, US and Europe, which was successfully
done.
However, in as much as we are able to successfully carry out these
supplies, we experience difficulty remitting our proceeds from the sale of
these products home. This is due to the fact that the fiscal policy in my
country is very stringent and not favorable.
Small firms like ours are not allowed before six months of operation,
to open and operate a domiciliary account in foreign currencies abroad through
which we would have been able to remit our proceeds home.
To this end we seek a foreign company or individuals who we can
nominate as our partners to receive our payments in their business/individual
accounts on our behalf and in turn send the money directly to us. Thus we
are willing to pay the individual or company 10% of the total sum for their
assistance.
This 10% will not be a loss to us instead we hope to incorporate these costs
in our future charges to our prospective customers overseas.
Currently we are not able to bring back home our funds totaling USD98, 801:00(ninety
eight thousand, eight hundred and one Dollars) in Peru, US and Europe from
export we just made.
We therefore solicit your assistance to help remit this money by
sending your account details via: bank name, account number and account beneficiary
to us so that we can instruct our customers to remit these monies directly
to your account, or alternatively the checks will be mailed to you. We also
require that you send us urgently your telephone and fax numbers for proper
communication prior to any transaction. We are also hoping to build a long
time business relationship with you should you be interested.
Once we have built our trust on you, we will continue to straighten the Business
Relationship. We hope you can be of assistance to our company. We are very
much aware of various scams going on all over, and as such we are assuring
you that at no time you will be required to pay or transfer funds that you
have not received from our customers to us.
We are sincerely a legitimate entrepreneur seeking for a trustworthy
foreign partner.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Joseph Chika Nwodo,
