I am a billionaire now from all the loot from Africa from all those people who sent me e-mails. I got that same letter from that dude who claimed to be Swedish. Even if it was a real offer, I wouldn't take it. I don't think 6,500 bucks a month is enough for me to go live in Nigeria. Thanks but no thanks.

My Aunt works in Africa at the moment. According to her, fraud is baically an institution in Nigeria. It's technically not illegal and the prevalent attitude is 'if people are dumb enough to give me their money I'm gonna take it.' Many nigerians will gladly declare their occupation as 'fraudster' apparently.
