It's a scam. The next email will be to ask for your bank details so that he can transfer the money, and then the next email will be asking for a small admin fee to release the funds. Have a look at this page for other examples based on the same theme

Don't be gullible! Anything regarding Nigeria is a SCAM.
Scam!
Delete. Anytime you receive something from Nigeria, IT IS A SCAM.
They want you to email your personal information to them, so they can steal money from your bank and other accounts.
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER give your personal information, over the internet to, to someone you do not know.
Always THINK before you act on something you see or get online. Think SCAM!

And of course, you will get a percentage of the money, only after you give this person your personal banking info, right? Since the other scam they are using is getting to be common knowledge and people have stopped responding to it, they switched it around a little so that it sounds like you are doing someone a good deed. Don't fall for this one either, please.

I get those all the thime at least 3 or 4 times a day. Just forget all about them. If they start to haggle you write back and ask to see proof ask to see a picture or something. One that worked for me for about a month then they started up again. Just ask to see some kind of proof and poof there gone (for a little while at least).

Do not send anytrhing to them, it's a scam, as are virtually any un-requested communications from Nigeria. Block or report as spam anything from Nigeria. Do not waste your time opening them.

When i receive these i always reply to them with attachment and tell them that all my details are in the attachment. But in the attachment there are things like bears with balloons that float across there computer screens and multiply when you click on them or i have another that turns your cursor into a mans private parts! Both are a real pain to get rid of and i hope that it wastes there time as much as those stupid e mails they send wastes mine!

Oh please! It's the oldest scam on the Internet and predates the World Wide Web by a few years.
