A classic example of the Nigerian 419 Scam:
Quoting a legitimate news story is an old trick. They seem to think if they can point to ANYTHING legitimate, it will somehow legitimize their story by proxy.
Obviously this makes little sense! The news story, also, as you can see is dated Friday, December 26, 2003. This fund has clearly been sitting around a while. Yet I'm sure they will start telling you that they money needs to be sent now now now! I love this part:
If that is true, it looks like you have till 2011 to finish all the processes needed to get the money. Do yourself a favor and bring the letter to the police for clarification on its legitimacy. I'm sure they will clear up any confusion you might have
