For goodness sake, please stop using "Nigeria" in your scam emails. Nigeria scams are top keywords on the internet search engine.

The most interesting part of the email reads:

"Kindly re-confirm to us the followings:
1) Your full name and mailing address.
2) Telephone, Fax and mobile #.
3) Occupation
4) Age . "

Re-confirm? The scammers don't even have these information in the first place. btw, we found that the real Central Bank of Nigeria do exists here.

Free US$6.7million... just for you...
