We spoke about this hoax in December, and here's a follow-up:

Just heard on NPR that authorities have arrested 6 guys in Africa
responsible for this scheme. About 2600 Americans fell victim to
it.

 ok another rip off scheme going around
 Thought I'd drop a line to let everyone know
 
 Dear Sir,
 
 I humbly wish to seek your assistance in a matter that
 is very important and needs utmost trust and
 confidence. I am Chief Murphy Ikenna a business
 consultant and a close confidant of one of Nigeria's
 most powerful families. The wife of top government
 official and an oil royalist who served in the past
 military regime in Nigeria wishes to move out of the
 country the sum of US$26 MILLION (twenty six Million
 United States Dollars).
 
 She wishes to invest the aforementioned sum in viable
 businesses overseas.
 
 For obvious reasons, my client does not wish to place
 this fund with established financial institution in
 the family's name for security reasons. It is her
 desire that the deal be handled as quietly as possible
 without possibility of any leakage to the public or
 government. She has therefore instructed and empowered
 
 me to look for a reliable foreigner who can arrange
 and recieve this money in his account overseas and
 assist to invest the fund properly for the family.
 
 If you agree to act as a fund manager for my client
 and her family, I shall release the sum of
 US$twenty six MILLION to you if you meet my
 requirements. The
 money is available in cash in a safe trunk, and upon a
 favourable response from you, I shall let you know how
 you will receive it.
 
 Your commission shall be down payment of 10% of the
 total sum, and an annual 10% of the after tax returns
 on investment for the first five years. Thereafter,
 the terms shall be varied.
 
 Sir, if you are capable and willing to participate in
 this transaction, reach me by EMAIL soonest with
 enclosed private phone/fax numbers.
 
 Best regards,
 MURPHY IKENNA.
