I received this e-mail. The Nigerians get really creative with this scam. They promise any one who falls for it, 30% of the total proceeds. And yeah, if its really meant to be top secret, why it is never addressed to the addressee by name? Like the old adage says, "a fool and his money are soonest parted." This is one that has under one variation or another been around as long as there are guillible people to be taken advantage of. Beware.

I think this is really a Nader fund-raising scheme.

I'd send 'em some money but I've already sent all my life savings to a Nigerian Prince who says the money is waiting for me. I'm on my way to the airport...

I'm going to have to pass on this golden opportunity.
Does anyone have an update on the Nigerian millionaire astronaut stranded at the space station? Poor guy.
