Yawn - it's the central bank of Nigeria - again - not. Did you really not get paid for a contract worth $15.7m? I doubt it. If you really are owed that money, would the Governor of the bank send you a random email addressed to "undisclosed recipients" Of course not. So why are you reading this???? You must realise it's a fake. It is - it's a scam and the scammer just wants to get his hands on your cash. Delete the email.
