This sounds like a scam, sorry.  I think you've been duped.  First link is to the bank-job scam on SNOPES; second is to the Nigerian con, cuz it's so prevalent.  Could be a spin on these that you're in, I'm thinking.

Ahh...the Nigerian scam. Actually, sometimes these people are prosecuted. I wouldn't make a HUGE deal out of it, since it would be a waste of your time. But you could forward it to authorities. \n\nThen delete it.

For more information check: www.dormantaccounts.ch\n \nA dormant account with the sum of Forty Five Million United States Dollars ($45M) as discovered by clients/close associates who are members of (ICEP).

Whereas, uncomplicated claims will be processed under a "fast track" procedure, which is the procedure, our claims will be put on.\n \nI have also made contacts with the Trust Company responsible for Dormant Account Recovery (DAR) in the United Kingdom and also concluded final arrangements with them to take over the funds by a new beneficiary legally. As an experienced broker and working with top executive members of (ICEP) who are also my close associates, I have all secret details and necessary contacts for claim of the funds without any hitch.\n \nWe are willing to offer you as much as 20% of the entire funds and after the transaction has been completed. There is no risk involved in this transaction and all the process of the administrative claims will be legally achieved to transfer the funds in your name as the new beneficiary.\n \nIn conclusion, if you are willing and ready to assist us claim the dormant account smoothly, please indicate in your return reply mail to cjoseblankza@yahoo.co.uk or fax number +27-11-5076847 and I will furnish you with more details on how the transaction will be completed including my contact telephone number so that you can call me for questions and clarifications where necessary.

Take a look at this website:\n\nhttp://www.419eater.com/\n\nIt's a group of people who bait the Nigerian scammers (also known as the 419 scam). The stories are hilarious and they also provide suggestions on how to do it yourself.

In romance scams a person outside the US will sometimes email a scanned image of a visa in a passport to show they are about to come to see the other person (and then ask for cash for the ticket or other expenses, to be wired by untraceable Western Union money transfer).\n\nThe surest way to check the visa is to show it to the INS, but often you can tell by yourself. Here are the two most common red flags to watch out for:\n\n1) Some text on the visa is slightly fuzzy while other text is sharp. That means it was scanned and then edited on a computer.\n\n2) Some parts of the visa are at an angle while others are straight. The straight part was changed on a computer while the angled part is original.\n\nMy general advice when dealing with people in Nigeria who you don't know personally is to assume a scam until you can prove otherwise. There are simply too many scammers there to safely proceed any other way.
