It's a scam!! Don't respond! The first time I got one of those I was so surprised and I thought it might be real (was in high school at the time), but then I asked around and thankfully didn't respond. Now, I get them constantly. Some other common email scams that you should steer clear of are those that claim you won the lottery, have a large inheritence, are requested to help a sick person in another country, etc. Those are all scams I've received emails about.
The bottom line is that you shouldn't give your bank account number, social security number, birth date or other personal information to anybody unless you contacted them first through a legitimate company email or phone number that you can verify. If you ever do actually win something, you can always request to collect your winnings by a check made out to you. You never need to give anybody your bank account number. Just remember, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

It's a scam and yes less than 1% respond to this nonsense, some people respond more than once and lose a lot of money.
a guy from nigeria got caught doing this very thing,he was scaming people with the same excuse,about depositing money into americans accounts,it was on 20/20 about 2 months ago.he got caught,and he admitted to all the money he scammed people out of.
They don't need your help. But they'd sure like to have your personal information, so they can get at your money.
I wouldn't think anybody would be silly enough to respond to them - but somebody must, or I wouldn't get so many emails either like the one you got or emails telling me that I've won some phony lottery.
hi
It's nothing new. SCAM.
I got such scam e-mails once in awhile. Just ignore it.
Thanks for the posting the letter...I got the cash.
