Scam or Real ?

The other day I got this email from Nigeria. I thought it's hilarious!

So the question is: Scam or Real?

  2. The Youth and Sports Ministry sounds legit for a West African country. They didn't send a crazy elaborate scheme to get money/personal info and they sent the request through your coaching site e-mail. I would guess real. Nigeria is a bit screwy though, so don't blame me if you respond and get hosed.
