Funny... I just got a very similar e-mail about 2 minutes ago. However, the more these con artists send out these messages, the more they increase the number of victims. If they send out 100,000 messages to valid e-mail addresses, I'll guarantee that at least ONE person will respond. Some poor, trusting, kind sole will eventually give these guys their bank account and routing information. Then all their money will be taken. This is an old scam, and the State Department has been asking the government of Nigeria to find and prosecute these con men for years. Of course, nothing happens.
