I can certainly shed light on this. It is a scam and you should have nothing to do with it. Whatever you do, do not provide any bank details, and when you are asked for money -- as you will be to pay the expenses -- do not be tempted to pay.this sort of thing simply does not happen in real life and is a common scam often known as the ' Nigerian scam '

This sounds like the classic "4-1-9" scam. People should ALWAYS be extremely cautious and hesitant concerning any personal or financial information they transmit over the Internet.

Please visit the following website for what I regard as an interesting and comprehensive explanation of scams in which unsolicited offers of foreign wealth are sent through email:

Good luck.
