If Nigerians spent half the time they spend trying to find weak-minded Western bank customers, in building up stable businesses, Nigeria would be one of the great industrial countries. I actually feel sorry at all the ingenuity and knowledge wasted on these penny-ante and degrading attempts at swindles. I get, literally twice or three times every day, well faked bank letters in Italian, which is not a West African language or very easy to learn. Somewhere there are Nigerians or similar who have learned Italian to an excellent level - and use it for no better purpose than to try to fleece a few weak-minded internet users. Don't you agree that it is a sad waste?

Probably they think they know English - after all, it is the national language - whereas they know that they don't know Italian. However, that is not to say that there aren't the occasional hilarious specimens.
