Nice little reverse scam, pretending to be from the Nigerian Government to return lost / stolen funds. However this is the scam, no different than the normal Nigerian scams. It will ask you to pay an advance, or funds or taxes on the return money or something else to get you to send them money before they send you the money they promised you. The other option is they will send you a check, asking you do deposit and send the balance or a % back to them or another source, whereas the check is fake and will bounce AFTER you wire the funds. Avoid at all cost.
I do like that the Nigerian Government has a Japanese Yahoo Email Address!

You are to keep this code for security purposes. Note that every
