I've had these more than once before, but they have all been letters not
E-mails. In the UK this is quite a well-known and common scam, and there
have been TV exposes trying to catch the guys at it.
The general pattern is that you have to set up a bank account for this money
to be put in. You then get repeated requests for money for various fees and
expenses, all promising that you are ever closer to getting your money.
Some people in the UK have lost as much as #20,000 ($30,000) to these
people, although you have to think that they must be pretty gullible to let
things get that bad.
This scam has been around for ages, and for some reason always involves
Nigeria. You have two options, ignore it or report it to the police (so
they can ignore it for you - or is that cynical??).
