The only interesting point about this e-mail is the e-mail address didia44@zudah.org.

There is a registered domain Zudah.org. It belongs to a woman with an address in California. The question is, how did Didia get a working e-mail address from there?

I am waiting for an answer, so we will have to wait and see if there really is an e-mail account there or not.

This one is made to look as though it officially comes from the Nigerian Central Bank from the Boss himself. As with all fraud e-mails this one is sent through a freemail address, so it can’t be come from the Bank itself. And, I am sure that Professor Soludo wouldn’t send it through a private e-mail account.

So it can only be a Scam e-mail right?

Why would an employee of the Foundation De France use the private e-mail address of someone called “Hassan Riaz” to send this message?

I reckon Hassan either made a mistake or someone has hijacked his e-mail account.

Personally, I like to believe the he made a mistake.
