It is not just Africa, but also UK, America, UAE, Russia and a few other countries who send out similar emails.

I got in touch with one of the embassies and they said that they were aware of it.

I have received a lot of these mail and just delete it, if its too good to be true, it probably is. Surprisingly, I have received these emails on my qatar.net email account only, not on hotmail or yahoo.

Have a good day.
