Where to start? How about it is clearly a bulk email, sent to "recipients".
And the reply address doesn't match the sent from.
Then the fact that it is 1 run-on sentence.
And, the message is pretty much incomprehensible.
Just to make sure you know it's a scam, it's from Nigeria!
After a couple of readings, I wonder if this is targeted at people who have already fallen for a Nigerian scam, since it says the Nigerian govt is going to "put a stop" to your loss and "assist you".
I do like that I get to tell them how much money I lost, presumably not to exceed the $5M they mention.
I guess people still bite on these, or they would still be trying. On the other hand, I used to get these with some regularity, now they're pretty rare.
