My worries are over

This email informs me that there is a huge sum of money just waiting for me to collect from any ATM machine in the world. All I have to do is send my details to a Rev. Nicholas Smith who will then send me the ATM card.

Apart from the amateur look of the mail, I'm a bit concerned that they are using a live.com email address. Wouldn't you think that the third largest bank in Nigeria  would have their own Internet domain? Actually they do and it is www.gtbplc.com.
