Dear Friend,
Presume this letter will come to you as a surprise, but as things
unfold, we
will know each other better. I will start by introducing myself to you.
My
Name is MR: WILLIAMS HANI. I AM THE DIRECTOR OF AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING
OFFICER AT THE BANK OF AFRICA (BOA). During the routine check in my
branch,
I discovered an abandoned sum of FORTY MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS,

If you were to follow up on this they wold tell you that you'll need to send them $10,000 or some other amount, to cover processing fees or whatever they want to make up. It's big business in Nigeria.
I currently have a necklace for sale on craigslist and I've gotten 12 responses from Nigerian scammers that want to pay me with fake money orders or Paypal so they can do a chargeback on their Paypal account after I send then my necklace. Not going to happen.
Check this site for a long list of the kinds of letters they send out.

Of course it's a scam. Do not respond. Do not call the phone number. Do not send a finder's fee or give your bank account numbers so they can direct "deposit" (read withdraw) the money. Delete the email and do not even think for a second that you can win in this con.

NO ONE who has access to that sort of money is ever going to be unable to work with a legitimate bank anywhere in the world. There is ZERO reason for them to contact some average person to handle that transfer.
They will try to get you to front money or hand over personal information and then clean you out.
