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: ASSISTANCE REQUIRED FOR ACQUISITION OF ESTATES.
ATTENTION:
I write to inform you of my desire to acquire
estates
or landed properties in your country on behalf of
the
Director of Contracts and Finance Allocation of the
Federal Ministry of works and Housing in Nigeria.
Considering his very strategic and influential
position, he would want the transaction to be
strictly
as confidential as possible. He further want his
identity to remain undisclosed at least for now,
until
the completion of the transaction. Hence our desire
to
have an overseas agent. I have therefore been
directed
to inquire if you would agree to act as our overseas
agent in order to actualise this transaction. The
deal
in brief is that the funds with which to carry out
our
proposed investments in your country is presently in
a
coded account in the Nigerian apex bank and we need your assistance to transfer
the funds to your
country
or any safe account outside your country in a convenient bank account that
will be provided by you
before we can put the funds into use. For this you
shall be considered to have executed a contract for
the ministry. The contract sum of which shall run
into
US$15.5Million of which your share shall be 30% if
you
agree to be our overseas agent. Your area of
specialisation does not matter in this transaction,
all that is required of you is a safe account and
your willingness to assist us acquire estates in your
country. As soon as payment is effected and the amount
mentioned above is successfully transferred into your
account, we intend to use our own share in acquiring
some estates abroad. For this too, you shall serve as
our agent . It might interest you to note that last
year, a similar transaction was carried out with one
MR. CHIENCHEN YU of Taiwan but after securing the payment approvals, and
payment effected,
MR.CHIENCHEN YU changed his numbers and addresses, and was no where to be
found on our getting to Taiwan. That was how we lost US$7.5Million. So this
time around , I will be with you before the remmittance is made into your
provided account to avoid future occurrence and allow trust to play a very
minimal role until performanceis seen. You are requested to communicate
your acceptance or otherwise of this proposal, through my email address
after which i will send my telephone and fax number to you. After which
we shall discuss in details the modalities for seeing this transaction
through.If however, you are not disposed to assist, kindly destroy this
letter in view of the confidentiality of the proposed transaction and interest
of personalities involved. Thank you in anticipation of your co-operation.
Best Regards,
Ade Jones.
N:B, PLEASE SEND YOUR RESPONSE TO MY ALTERNATE
EMAIL ADDRESS(adejones3@yahoo.co.uk)FOR EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION.
