THIS IS A SCAM -- A CLASSIC SCAM. THIS IS SO OLD THAT THIS SCAMSTER MUST HAVE BEEN RECENTLY RELEASED FROM PRISON IN NIGERIA BECAUSE HE APPARENTLY DOES NOT KNOW THAT THE WORD IS OUT ABOUT THIS FAKE LETTER. ANY LETTER FROM NIGERIA IS A SCAM. YOU CAN TELL BY THE BAD EUROPEAN STYLE ENGLISH WHICH IS INCORRECT AND FULL OF MISSPELLINGS. A LOT OF THESE LETTERS CLAIM TO BE WRITTEN BY CHINESE PEOPLE AND PEOPLE FROM ELSEWHERE BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD THAT NIGERIA IS THE CENTER OF INTERNET SCAMS... AND THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM! IN THE GHETTO, WE CALL PEOPLE LIKE THIS PLAYERS. WE ARE HIP TO THESE SCAMS BECAUSE THERE ARE VARIATIONS USED HERE BY PEOPLE EVERY DAY IN EVERY WAY. GOOD THING YOU CAUGHT THIS GUY AND DIDN'T GET RIPPED OFF BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF THE OLDEST SCAMMERS IN THE BOOK. THIS GUY IS NO LAWYER. HE IS IN AN INTERNET CAFE IN LAGOS WHERE HE AND MANY MORE LIKE HIM HOPE TO SCAM PEOPLE INTO SENDING HIM MONEY. LAGOS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE FEW PLACES IN NIGERIA THAT HAS RELIABLE ELECTRICITY AND INTERNET CONNECTIONS. THEY EXCHANGE NOTES AND THEY BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE IN THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES ARE THE MOST LIKELY TO FALL FOR THEIR SCAMS BECAUSE THEY THINK THAT WE ARE THE MOST STUPID AND LEAST EDUCATED PEOPLE IN THE USA. I HAVE KNOWN OF PEOPLE WITH PH d DEGREES AND MDS FALLING FOR THEIR SCAMS AS WELL. GO WATCH THE VIDEO "I GO CHOP YOUR DOLLAR" ON A WELL-KNOWN INTERNET SITE THAT SHOWS MUSIC VIDEOS TO LEARN WHAT THE NIGERIANS REALLY THINK ABOUT US. THE MUSIC IS NEAT AND REMINDS ME A LOT OF SKA AND REGGAE WHICH ALSO COMES FROM AFRICA BUT NEVER FORGET THESE GUYS WANT TO SCAM MONEY FROM YOU AND NOTHING ELSE! I USED TO SEND THEM GANGSTA RAP VIDEO LINKS BUT I CAN'T BE BOTHERED WITH THEM ANYMORE.
