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 /Ma,
I must say that I have enormous respect for you considering the manner in
which I have made contact with you. We never know when life is about to
shower us with good fortune, however we spend so much time wishing that life
did. The uniqueness of your name has made it possible for us to come
together and share some decent money I will state the very crucial issues
here, as I have to leave to attend to personal matters. Lets move forward
and lets see what we can achieve. You see, someone close to me recently
became ill and her medical examinations are about to be initiated.
I have hurriedly put together this message. I will need for us to conclude
this project in record time so I can be in a position to give her fullest
attention and provide her with the best facilities I will be able to afford.
What I now recount to you, I have told you already, but I restate here again
for the avoidance of doubt or confusion.
In everything one does with another: there must be a meeting of minds. In
Latin, its called “consensus ad idem”: Without us both seeing and assessing
the situation through the same lenses there cannot and will never be success
or progress. So as we say in NIGERIA thoroughness is what is needed here.
I need for you to obey my every instruction and do exactly as I say. You
must let me direct this project for us to have success. This is non
negotiable. It is when there is no leadership and no meeting of minds that
there are problems. The financial services in Nigeria are bursting with so
much capital flight into the nation as foreigners are constantly seeking to
invest. Philip believed in Nigeria and made a lot of money from investments
in Nigeria.
At this stage I am sure you have loads of questions you want to ask. We are
going to take this matter on a step-by-step basis. However something that I
must point out to you at this stage is that there is no wrong on your part.
At the end of the day it is the FIRST BANK OF NIGERIA PLC that will be
contacting you to inform you that money has been left for you. You are not
contacting the bank so you are doing absolutely nothing wrong. The only
person who could have disputed this is long gone.
You must understand why there must be serious confidentiality about this
whole process.As soon as FIRST BANK OF NIGERIA PLC has gone through all
formalities with you, they will contact you and reconfirm your account
information for payment immediately without any further delay. I expect that
this money will be in your account in a matter of 10 working days as long as
we work diligently. Please send me the following, as I need it for my file
and for application. As soon as I have made the necessary amendments you
become the legal beneficiary and FIRST BANK OF NIGERIA PLC will get in
touch with you.
1. FULL NAMES
2. ADDRESS
3. TELEPHONE (MOBILE/HOME/OFFICE) AND FAX NUMBER.
4. COMPANY NAME (IF ANY)
My friend please let us be positive and show discretion as we both make one
of the most fruitful steps of our lives. My spoken English is not too good,
however I believe you will understand me when I call you.
I wait your response.
Jason Morgan
