Somebody in Nigeria wants to send me money. I can’t give you the details, but let me say that if this does work out, I’ll never have to worry about book royalties again. I feel a little guilty about dealing in blood diamonds, but if this deal works out, I can make it all right by donating a lot to charity.
Don't do that. This is totally scam! One of my friend did that and he has been having trouble with local and international authorities. This is basically money loundering and you will have a lot of trouble if you do so!
Very amusing.
On a related note, have you seen 419eater.com ? Very amusing.
When I receive emails like this I use this site to be sure:

(Although there is no information about somethings like Agel (Pyramid scheme?))
When I was in grad school, a fellow student (with much more of a linguistics bent than I had) did work on the types of discourse acts present in Nigerian Email Scams. It was pretty interesting to talk about.
