The latest email scam

It appears that El Capitan is going to be rich with money from a Rev. Father.

Me, I'm not going to be rich, but this guy is simply asking for money instead of promising me weath for helping him out. It is from a final national diplomat of business administration. How is THAT for legitimate?

Good day sir/madam/ceo...
Compliments of the season,
Permit me to introduce myself, I am Chime Shedrack Chibueze, a Final National Diplomat (ND) of Business Adminstration(BAM), Faculty Of Management Sciences,Institution of Management and Technology,(IMT)
Enugu, Nigeria. I am born in a family of eight and i lost my mother some years ago. The massive retrenchment of nigeria rail way co_operation affected my father who is 63 years old known as Mr Chime Sunny shedrack. Ever since this event took place, i have been living on begging to make sure that i see my self through with my accademic possure.
I am writting to you because i am in trouble and i need some money to pay my final ND school fees and as well work on my final ND project work. No matter the little amount you can afford, please do it for no amount is small, no matter how small it may look like, i will appreciate it
May God bless you.
Thanks,
Sincerely,
Chime Shedrack C.
PLEASE DONT LET ME DROP OUT
This is not scam letter ! !, help.... i will also send my school ID card

*please note my dripping sarcasm on the legit party since I believe a college professor and diplomat (whether writing in a second language or not, could capitalize and spell correctly, overall).
