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: URGENT FAMILY ASSISTANCE
PHONE:27-83-7435271
ATTN: SIR/MADAM
CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL
I know that you may be surprise receiving this, but do please consider it a
request from a young man in serious need of your humble assistance. My name
is as above stated. I am the second son to late Dr.Julius Nyerere, former
president of Tanzania who died due to a protracted illness. I am 28 years of
age and a Graduate of Managerial Economics from the University of Pretoria,
South Africa.
I am presently staying here in Johannesburg with my younger sister Lekky,
but under the guidance of Barrister Douglas Smith, a reputable South African
Attorney whom my late dad assisted immensely during his academic pursuit in
my country. I got your contact from the world business journals and
directories.
My sole reason for contacting you is to solicit for your kind assistance in
helping me to invest in your country a cash fund of US$22Million I inherited
from my late father. He had deposited this money in a vault of a private
security company here in Johannesburg using my name as the sole beneficiary.
I now want to invest this money carefully in your country since I felt more
investment opportunities abound there.
Also, I do not have much of investments knowledge and I will be grateful if
you could help me invest it religiously on a lucrative venture. But could
you kindly please help me by nominating your personal or company bank
account for the transfer of this money into your country for safe keeping
pending my immediate arrival for onward investments? It will be unwise for
me to carry it in physical cash. I have concluded to offer you 20% of the
money for your kind assistance
and all expenses that you might incur on the process of this transfer are
strictly subject to instant refund. The rest will be for my investments in
your country, which I am going to rely on you heavily to help me
materialize. Kindly contact me on the above phone numbers should this
proposal happen to meet your utmost considerations in sincerity.
Best regard
