Receiving an email from a complete stranger, who doesn't know your name and offering you a 30% share of $50M should immediately set off alarm bells. Yes this is standard advanced feee fraud. The $50M does not exist. The person claiming to be Adeolu Bola is actually some grotty little criminal tapping away on a keyboard in a internet cafe in Nigeria. Simply delete or ignore.

Dear Sir/Madam, <- Scammer doesn't have a clue who you are.
I am Mr. Adeolu Bola, Chairman of the Tender Committee in one of the leading
oil company. My Committee is principally concerned with payment of all
contract awarded from 2004 to date, in order of priority as regard capital
projects of our corporation.
I am positive and convince that you would provide us with solution to a
money transfer deal valued at US$50 Million (Fifty Million United States
Dollars) and subsequently a joint business venture.. I will need bank
account in your country or offshore account.
I would like to invest the money in manufacturing of products such as
Household products, Electronic goods, Apparel and Textiles, Real Estate,
Properties or Telecommunication in your country. If you have any other idea
of investment, that would be welcomed by me.
In the course of our duties as values, and project inspectors for the
on-going liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) project, we have over-invoiced the
value of some jobs done by foreign contractors to the tune of US$50Million.
As follows: -
(1) Computer optimization and Installation 15,000.000.00.
(2) Installation of 250,000.00 Monax Turbine$20,000.000.00
(3) Turn around Maintenance $15,000,000.00
The money will be shared as follows after transfer, 30% for you 70% for me.
I know exactly how to present you / your company as the Beneficiary of the
funds.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Adeolu Bola
