Take them immediately to the Post Office or Police Dept.
Do not cash and do not send any money back. Also give copies of the emails for law enforcement to use too.
It is a Nigerian Scam

It sounds like a scam to me. I wouldn't get involved in it. It could be that the checks are phony and you would be the one in trouble if you tried to cash them.

This is definitely illegal, i think it has to do with the fact that there is a fee in Nigeria, a large one. So for you to do it, it would be much cheaper.

Sounds like one of the MANY, MANY Nigerian scams. The checks are most likely FAKE.
Don't do it.
