That is a legitimate bank in England, I would forward the email to them and see what they have to say about it.

The sad part is that this scam works very well as there is always another sucker who can not hand over their money fast enough.

Are the Nigerians disgusting or is it the Idiots trying to take advantage of this "Get Rich Quick" scheme?
I say let the Nigerians take them for all they got....I'll have no sympathy for them. Heck, I'd even laugh at them in the gutter after they lose everything.
