Short answer: This is a scam, but the scam is *not* new; in fact, it looks like a variation on the old Nigerian Finance Minister scheme. (Story was that certain funds would go unclaimed unless a former official -- now in exile -- received *your* help to keep the money from falling intot he wrong hands... And out of six billion people on the planet, they chose me to help them out. Go figure.) One thing these folks are going to want is your bank account number, so that they can "transfer the funds into it." And nooooooooo, they would *never* cheat you or take any of your hard-earned money out of your account. (Please pardon the dripping sarcasm here.) We used to get letters from Nigeria similar to these via the US Postal Service; standard operating procedure was to forward them to the Postal Inspectors (and I believe they sent copies along to the FBI, because of the wire-fraud angle with the banks). If it looks too good to be true, it very likely is... Remember, the quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket. -- Maine Fordson
