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: A WILL
Hello,
Please, kindly take your time to understand the content of this email.
I wish to introduce you to a project that would be of immense benefit to
both of us. Being an executor of wills, it is possible that we may be
tempted to make fortune out of our client's situations, when we cannot help
it, or left with no better option.
The issue I am presenting to you is a case of my client who willed a fortune
to his next-of-kin. It was most unfortunate that he and his next-of-kin died
on the same day in an auto-crash. I am now faced with indecision about who
to pass the fortune to. According to the English law, the fortune is
supposed to be bequeathed to the government.
However, I don't belong to that school of thought which proposes that the
fortune of unlucky people be given to the government. I therefore seek for
your assistance in presenting you as next of Kin to the deceased.
Please give your response to this email via return email. I will reveal
other details upon your response to this email and as soon as we establish
correspondence.
Reward is negotiable.
Yours in Service
Frank Collins
(Attorney at Law)
