I sure hope you are joking.
Because if you are not, then you are talking about one of the biggest scams these days. It is called the Nigerian Bank Scam, but that does not mean that it can only come out of Nigeria. In fact, it does not even have to come out of Africa.
The idea is to get a person to pay money up front to cover fees and taxes to get money out of Africa. However, the person pays the money and then the people in Africa disappear. It is a sadly common scam.
Here is a wiki link, so you can do a bit of reading on it.

And once again, I sure hope you are joking around about this. Lots of people lose tons of money every year because of this scam.

This is a scam. I get such offers two or three times a week. Do NOT send them any money.
Don't you ever watch the many TV specials concerning this kind of a scam?

Look at the hits Google turns up. It is all fraud. You pay them the $40K and they will disappear. Guaranteed!!!!

You are screwed.
And your attempt to scam someone here is not appreciated. No one on Yahoo Answers is going to lend you money so that you can pay your "taxes". Take your rip-off game somewhere else.
