Sad to say, but any email forward that says it's from Nigeria immediately strikes me as a scam. At least this one doesn't ask for your bank account details, but I still wouldn't trust it.

Hehe, here's a bit of internet humor for you if you've got a little time to kill: http://www.theonion.com/content/video/breaking_news_all_online_data

Yeah, my guess is that they would make you send money to pay for the airfare and other associated visa costs.... never to be seen again.

I could be wrong but that was first instinct on reading the emails.

Be careful on this one.

A tad mystifield Mother..

Those e-mails have been around for at least a year. The scammers now focus their energy on international job seekers.

It just gets better. Here's the next one (Well, strangely enough, people continue to get scammed, however long you say these scams have been around for. Incidentally, I got one offer from "Thaksin Shinawatra's wife" to move a measly $10 million):
