I have received a wonderful email?

I was woken up early this morning at midday by our damned window cleaner sloshing his sponge against my window. After bounding across to the window and opening the large 'outward' opening window to it's full extent and depositing the window cleaner with a satisfying thud on the gravel below, I decided to check my emails. Upon signing on, I realised that I had received a rather enticing email from a charming Nigerian gentleman. The email stated that this fine man was Nigerian nobility (a lot like myself, only I am, of course, British) but he had found himself in a spot of bother and his damned government would not allow him full access to his funds! All that was required from me, was a small, insignificant sum of money in order for administration to be done, and my bank details. Of course I have provided these details to him already but my question is this: My wife was the person who usually dealt with my daily chores, post being one of them, and I am quite perplexed as how to get the letter from Britain to Nigeria. You assistance would be greatly appreciated.

1. You have to fly to Africa (remember your mosquito repellent) and ride a camel there, and deliver the letter yourself.
2. Why should he ask for Bank details? Seems you have furnished. Please take care.
3. Yeah, I had a similar experience! I won the Ugandan lottery... Just my damn spam filter doesn't want me to claim my winnings...
4. I trust this question is a joke/parody? Otherwise, I feel very sorry for you that you are unaware this is an obvious scam. Try googling "Nigerian scam." You should get all the info you need.
5. Oh yes, I have also received an identical email from a person of Nigerian royal heritage. I was enormously flattered to be so especially sought out and of course I gave details of my five bank accounts. The fast dispatch of the letter will not be problematic because I am quite certain this royal Nigerian personage will send a courier to pick up such an important letter.
6. 99.9% of anything coming from Nigeria especially if you don't know the person is a scam. I hope you are joking about giving your information because you could be in a lot of trouble if you did.
7. This is a swindle. Do Not provide the sender of this e-mail with your details. It doesn´t matter how much money he promised as repayment for your kindness, it is a swindle. You will be left sitting and waiting forever. Please do not send him your details.
8. Simply e-mail him your personal information ,Osgoode .......... He`ll need your S.S number ... your banking information , and a sample of your signature . Hit the "Send" button , then sit back and smile to yourself like the cat that swallowed the canary ....... and wait for the money to be put in your account ! It just doesn`t GET any easier than that !!
9. This is a well known scam. You are very naive handing over your bank details to a stranger. Expect to be significantly robbed.
