FWIW Normally these emails come from Nigeria and involve a public servant.
This as you are probably are aware is a common scam. There was a thing on this format on the radio last month, since then I've noticed several on different lists. I'd bet out of the 1,00* that received it, a couple fund the next one. Do not respond to this email as you are very likely to have your bank account emptied. Where's the spamassassin when you need it?
