HAHA
This scam has been around for years. I have received 100 of these emails over the past 6-7 years. The scam is to get you to give them access to your bank account. They will usually leave a phone number as well. I called a couple of them out of curiosity and always got an answering machine.

Is this the entire output of Nigeria's GNP? I mean really the way we see these things fly around you would think so.
(In snooty accent)
"Ahem, Good day sir, the country of Nigeria is so rich and affulent that we just have to give this money away to Americans, and possibly the British. We feel that poor countrys such as those could really do with a helping hand in this day and age"
It's like Nigeria is the newest Polish joke.
"How many Nigerians does it take to give away 3 million dollars?"
