It's a scam. The writing tells me that the author is most likely African.

"Funds Transfer Manager" is a euphemism for money launderer. The scammer intends for you to take fake checks or stolen funds, and turn it into cash for the scammers. When the check fraud or theft are detected, you will be the one who can be identified, and you risk losing a lot of money, being arrested, or both.

The money which would be deposited would be obtained under fraudulent circumstances (as part of a scam) and you would be the one the police could find, not the "employer", the scammer.

It is never a good idea to give anyone your banking information over the internet. Once information is on the internet (even by email) it is there forever and available to who ever it is sent to or has access.

Thank you for posting this information up for others to find and be helped.
