He has directed me to scam you

Good evening,

You were highly recommended to me by your diplomatic officer in our country who also gave me your contact. He promised to update you before I contacted you. I am forced to write you because of business of highly classified nature which I referred to your ambassador here because of our relationship but he said he will not like to be directly involved because of his position and directed me to contact you. Kindly allow me to introduce myself. I am cousin to the current president of Nigeria and I am also in very good confidence with him. He has directed me to find a foreign partner like you so that we can work together to apply to his esteem office for oil subsidy payments worth over millions in British Pounds. I will explain more to you when I receive your reply to this email indicating your interest.

Yours friendly,
Emmanuel Jonathan.
