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: update me please

his company.

On this note, I decided to seek for a reliable
foreigner who will act as the foreign beneficiary of
the fund from the deceased by providing his/her bank
account where the fund will be transferred.

The banking ethics here does not allow such money to
stay more than six years without claim hence the money
will be recalled to the government treasury as
unclaimed after this long period of dormancy. In view
of this, I got your contact through my personal search
to see if you can assist by providing your safe bank
account for the transfer or find a reliable person who
will be capable of receiving such amount in his or her
personal account.

The total amount involved is $60,000,000.00 USD [Sixty
Million United States Dollar]. We wish to start the
first transfer with $26,000,000.00 [Twenty six
million] and upon successful transaction without any
disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for
the transfer of the remaining balance to your account.

At the conclusion of the transfer, 60% of the fund
will be for me. I will give you 30% of the total
transfer sum, 5% for charity both in Africa and in
your country while the remaining 5% will be set aside
to settle expenses both parties might incure during
the transfer process.

I look forward in hearing from you through this e-mail
alicewoodsmithprivate2@yahoo.co.uk

I am waiting.

Yours truly,

Alice Wood Smith
