And just delete it. It's a well known scam and as far as I know there
really is no one to report it to.

Anytime you see NIGERIA and Money in the same e-mail it's a scam pure
and simple. I work for a bank and have actually watched entire Nigerian
scam rings come into the bank and get caught. I also get e-mails just
like that one all the time. It's fraud pure and simple, don't buy into
it.
