This is a Nigerian Scam . How it usually works is they contact you with a sob story and as it turns out they always have a poo pooload of money in a bank but the bank won't release it to them unless they pay a fee to the bank to cover the release procedure . Thats where you come in , if you pay the release fee for them when they get the money they will give you a million $$$$$ or whatever ( LOL ). I can't believe people fall for this crap .
