The following message is sent to those who reply to the initial email:

My dear ........

I want to tell you something now about myself and I hope that you and I will soon be meeting together. I am afraid to tell it to people but my heart believes in you now.

I want you to patiently read this offer. I am Miss Mary Foncha, the daughter of the deceased former Head of Delegation to the World Bank in West Africa. My father (Mr. SOMDA TAMIYU Foncha) was the linkman between the Organization for Petroleum Exporting Countries - OPEC and the petroleum sector in a West African country. He also attended OPEC meetings constantly in Geneva before his death caused by cardiac arrest in our home town.

Through the sale of our allocated oil quota in OPEC, he was able to make US $3.5million. I and my very sick mother want you to assist me to claim this money as we cannot claim it directly because he made the deposit as a fund belonging to his business associate in order not to raise eyebrow since he was a civil servant during that time, and the code of conduct bureau forbids him or his family to acquire such amount of money.

Please it is on this basis that I am contacting you for assistance, if you will be interested, claim documents will be processed and sent to you. The details and important information that you will require will be given to you for you to stand as the beneficiary so that you will be eligible to collect the fund as his business associate.

You shall be entitled to 40% of the total funds while the rest will be given to me on arrival in your country for the up keeping and for further investment under your kind control there in your country as we may not be able to do any investment here in West Africa due to the origin of the said fund.

I will not fail to bring to your notice that this business is risk free and 100% simple and doesn't have any negative implications. If you can conveniently assure me of your ability to keep this business very secret and confidential then write back for further details.

Best regards,

Mary..

...and devolves into a romance scam quickly, as "Mary" begins her shows of affection.

My dear [REDACTED],

   I am so much happy to hear from you and also to know that you would like me to come and meet with you first so that we can stay together and then do the transfer very well.

I am happy at your suggestion and it is good also, but my dear I do not have international passport which is the first thing that I need now to come to your country, so tomorrow morning, I will go to my Embassy to find out how much it will cost to get a new international passport and then get visa to come and meet with you immediately.

Darling, it is the best idea now and I am happy also because I am suffering so much here and it will be good that when we are together then we can plan how you will make the transfer and then we can start a good and happy life together. All my hope and confidence is in you now and I wish to meet with you as soon as possible.  So, my dear as soon as I come back from my Embassy tomorrow then I will write to you again and tell you what they said and how I can get the international passport which I will use to come to meet with you.

How are you?  Hope that you are fine. How is work and so on.
Waiting to hear from you soon.
Yours Mary.

My dear [REDACTED],

 Darling, I went to my Embassy here in Dakar today to find out how much that it can cost me to get a new international passport, and they told me that it will cost the total sum of 350 Dollars but you can send me the amount of 400 Dollars so that I can pay for my transport to go there and for my take the photographs passports which I i will also submit to the Embassy for the international passport. For me to get a new passport as soon as possible and it will be for the period of 7 days, so my dear, you need to send me the money now.

This is the fast process of getting the passport and I am hoping that you will do your best to send me the money as soon as possible so that i can get the money to do the passport to come and meet with you soon.

I am already thinking of meeting with you and I am thanking God so much now that I have you.  I will start a new and happy life with you soon. My dear, it is good that I come to meet with you and then we can stay together and plan very well how we will do the transfer together. All my hope and my confidence is in you now and I want you to tell me when you will send me the money so that I can tell you how you will send it to me. Please send me your picture also.

How are you doing? Hope that you are fine.
Waiting to hear from you soon.
Yours Mary.
