It scored 3.4 with 2.41, though of course there were no headers which
might have changed this.

To my untutored eye, I think the main problem was that none of the
rules looking for large sums of money were triggered (i.e. US_DOLLARS*)
I don't understand the regexps well enough to work out what could be
changed here.

One thing I have noticed about these Nigerian scams is that they
frequently use the word "modalities" - a word I've never seen anywhere
other than in this type of mail.  Perhaps a rule that catches just this
word might be worthwhile.
