I got an e-mail to this effect, a few days ago.
It supposed originator was a former Nigerian prince.
Other details (amount, percentage of commission) varied, too.

The very nature of the "business opportunity" - if it were real - means that only a few people or companies are (supposedly) contacted.
And yet, it is obvious that they distribute this junk to lists of millions of e-mail adresses.
