    I don't see any reason why you shouldn't consider taking this opportunity if you are interested. What is the worst that can happen if you do later determine it to be fraudulent?

    Bank account emptied, get caught up in a criminal investigation, credit reference trashed, ID fraud, advance fee fraud, PC virus!!!

    Look up www.419eater.com and visit their "Letters Archive" section. That should clear up any lingering doubts...
