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: Nation Wide Finance
Mr. Zivko James,
Nation Wide Finance, London-England
Dear Sir,
I am one of the transfer officers of Nation Wide Finance London and my name
is Mr.Zivko James, a citizen of Macedonia. Please permit me to make this
plea to you and if interested, do not hesitate to get back to me via my email
immediately for further action.
Last 4 years, a group of men from Africa were able to move the sum of $15M
(Fifteen Million Dollars Only) to our branch here in London and since then,
none of them have shown up to lay claims on the said amount.
Several calls have been made to the owners and none was successful on the
numbers given and now I have all
the paper work to transfer the funds via our payment office in Berlize to
your account without any trace as all documents will be destroyed by me immediately
the transfer is taken place after 5 days of receiving your details.
Just few days I discovered from the right source that the owner of this money
is dead and I have gone through his file and have discovered that he has
no Next of Kin to inherit his money. I want to use you as the Next of Kin
to enable me transfer the funds ($15M) to your account immediately.
Please this is very confidential and must not be discussed with anyone else
as I have prepared all my documents to effect the transfer to your account
once I have made all changes on the account. Also you will assure me that
you will not disappear with the funds hence I make this plea in good faith.
I have all the documents gotten from the Registry to put you in place as
the Next of Kin.
The funds will be shared on 60-40 bases to avoid greed on both sides. If
you are interested, get back to me with your contacts now and we shall get
this done.
Please it is very important to send your response to my private email address:zivkojames@myway.com:
ONLY
Yours faithfully,
Mr.Zivko James
London-England
