Scam for the day

Rico says he never knows what an email will bring, but this one, from an Engineer Jorge Lima, is a classic:

REF: NPA/O1/SAT/11 ENGR. JORGE LIMA (NPA)
PHONE: +27 83 760 0813 NATIONAL PETROLEUM AGENCY OF SAO TOME.
DEAR FRIEND,
MY NAME IS ENG. JORGE LIMA, AND I WORK WITH THE SAO TOME AND PRINCIPE NATIONAL PETROLEUM AGENCY. TO BE PRECISE, I OVERSEE EUROPEAN AND AFRICAN OPERATIONS FOR THE AGENCY. MY POSITION IN THE AGENCY ENTITLES EXPLORATION AND ALLOCATION LICENSES AND I DO RECOMMEND OIL ALLOCATION BIDDERS AND ACTUALIZE OIL LIFTING TO THE FINAL BUYERS AND ALSO TO MY CANDIDATES BASED ON MY INTEREST.
IN NOVEMBER LAST YEAR, I FACILITATED AND ACTUALIZED THE LICENSE OF A CANDIDATE, A BUSINESS MAN FROM THE USA.
THE LICENSE WAS FOR 5 YEAR AT THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND (300,000) BBLS A MONTH, THAT'S 3,600,000 / 12 MONTHS. DUE TO REASONS UNKNOWN TO ME, I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THIS MAN TILL DATE.
THE LICENSE IS STILL VALID TILL JANUARY 2016 (AS I ALWAYS ENSURE THAT I KEEP TO MY SIDE OF THE BARGAIN), I HAVE DECIDED TO START USING THE LICENSE FROM NOW.
I AM IN NEED OF A PARTNER WHO I CAN TRUST; I WILL PACKAGE YOU AS THE LICENSE BENEFICIARY. DUE TO MY POSITION IN THE PETROLEUM AGENCY, I CANNOT HANDLE THIS POSITION. I ASSUME THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE ALL THE QUALITIES I NEED FOR SUCH PARTNERSHIP BUSINESS AND THIS IS THE ONLY REASON WHY I HAVE CONTACTED YOU.
WE SHALL BE ABLE TO LIFT A MAXIMUM OF THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND BARRELS OF SLCO PER MONTH WHILE THIS WILL FETCH US AN AVERAGE OF USD$600,000 PER MONTH, SINCE I HAVE READY BUYERS WHO WOULD SCRAMBLE FOR ANY NUMBER OF BARRELS WE LIFT.
THIS IS WHAT I PROPOSE:
1. YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE ME WITH YOUR COMPANY NAME, IN WHICH SHALL BE USED TO REPLACE THE INITIAL LICENSE OPERATOR.
2. I WILL ENSURE THAT YOUR COMPANY'S NAME IS RECOGNIZED AS THE LICENSE OPERATOR, AND THAT ALL LIFTING PROCEDURES ARE IN PLACE AND BUYERS READILY AVAILABLE.
3. YOU STAND IN AS THE LICENSE OPERATOR FOR ALL LIFTING AND SALES TRANSACTIONS; WE SHALL OPEN AN ACCOUNT FOR THE RECEIPT OF THE OIL SALE PROCEEDS IN WHICH BOTH OF US SHALL BE SIGNATORIES TO THE ACCOUNT.
4. WE SHALL SPLIT THE OIL SALE PROCEEDS IN THE RATIO OF 50/50 EQUITY SHARE WHILE EQUITY WILL BE AT THE LAST DAY OF EVERY MONTH.
I BELIEVE THIS OFFER I MAKE TO YOU IS BASED ON UTMOST GOOD FAITH. I COULD BE JEOPARDIZING MY POSITION IN THE NATIONAL PETROLEUM AGENCY IF WORD OF THIS GOES OUT; THEREFORE WITHOUT MINCING WORDS, I RELY ON YOU FOR UTMOST CONFIDENTIALITY ON EVERY BIT OF DETAIL INFORMATION RELATING TO THIS PROPOSAL.
CURRENTLY I AM IN SOUTH AFRICA FOR THE NATIONAL PETROLEUM AGENCY CONTRACT PROJECT INSPECTION. YOU CAN ALWAYS CALL ME AT,
TEL: +27 83 760 0813 = EMAIL ME AT: jorge.lima112@gmail.com UPON YOUR POSITIVE RESPONSE, I WILL BE WILLING TO FORWARD TO YOU PROOF OF MY PROPOSITION. I LOOK FORWARD TO BUILD A PROSPECTIVE BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.
WARM REGARDS,
ENGR. JORGE LIMA.

Rico says sorry for the all caps, but it's too much trouble to redo it... (And, by the way, his email has a slightly different return address than the text. Rico says he doesn't care if you use either of them to apply for the position, but all the risk is on you.)
