SCAM MAILS

I have received scam mails overtime but some of the same types have persistently worried me in the past weeks and I have decided to attach one here.
The first time I got an e mail like this greed almost gave way to reason (put emotion here)…
I wonder what the senders hope to achieve…, I wonder if all the mails really emanate from Nigeria and Nigerians…., I wonder what all this will lead to…, I wonder what shape the next generation of fraud letters will take…
The most recent scam/ fraud email I received is below and it reads:
