I've gotten this one & it reads like all the rest of the ones from Nigeria; incorrect grammar, lack of properly capitalized words, etc. The very mention of Nigeria should be the first red flag. If you fell for this, you fell for others years ago.

I guess they finally realized that most of the know the "dear friend" emails are a hoax. What won't they try next?

Everyone should also be aware of "phishing" emails that appear to come from your bank, saying you need to update your security information. Always go directly to your bank's website to check this stuff out; DO NOT click on the links provided in the emails.
