This is a so-called "nigerian advance fee scam" - email DO NOT REPLY TO THIS E-MAIL
Well, i can't imagine that any human being with an IQ above room temperature would answer to such a message or even be so stupid to send any money, but obviously, it happens.
if you want, you can loose thousands of euros or get killed if you go to nigeriaWell, i don't know about the "get killed" part, but again, i can't image that someone with his/her marbles in place would fall for something like this.
As in this case the sender tried to use a mailing list as a media to spread his scam and this can cause the FPC mailing list servers to be put on blacklists used by more and more ISP's to prevent spamming, it would be good to forward the message (with all headers!) to a special task force of the US Secret Service, which, as part of the US treasury department, tries to take care of these criminals.
More information about this and the email address to forward those "Nigerian money scam" messages as well as the procedures therefor can be found at http://www.secretservice.gov/alert419.shtml
My usual advice to customers for spam is to ignore it, filter it, in a recognized repeated attempt to forward such messages to the abuse address of the ISP where the email is originating, but this is usually hard to examine for a regular user.
But in this case, the intend of the message is not only annoying but downright criminal and the appropriate law enforcement agencies should take care of those folks.
just my 2c,
Ralf
