My 'email friend' who is a Nigerian Prince agrees with me.

I believe him, because he also needs my help to move his dead relative’s millions out of his native country to avoid his greedy family members & corrupt government.

He just needs me to wire a “small amount” of money (several thousand) to cover the taxes, legal expenses and fees. Then afterwards he has promised me a share of his family's fortune for my “generosity.”

Definitely a scam. One of the oldest scams out there.
