Many thanks to all those who have replied so quickly. 
I have also received a private reply from another list subscriber. 
It seems to be clear now, especially judging from Jerome's reply that this a
rather elaborate scam. My suspicions appear to have been justified.
One of the giveaways are all the spelling mistakes, apparently Nigerians 
place a
high emphasis on literacy and presentation. 
I have been abvised to hand the mail over to the police and I will probably do
just that.

Thanks again,
Ute
