Here we have a fake Nigerian government official plotting to transfer an equally fake $5 Million out of Nigeria. You'll notice that he has simply addresses the email to "THE CEO". This means that the scammer has no idea to whom he has sent this scam. It has likely been sent to hundreds if not thousands of people. Should a person agree to this proposal they will soon face demands to pay a raft of fees. Probably legal fees and transaction charges. All charges are fraudulent. The $5 Million does not exist.
