In 29th July, I got the same mail with attached offer letter the same as yours (Copy/Paste).
The main difference was the contact person..for me his name was:
Engr Bamidele Femi
Human Resources Manager
Zoom Mobile Nigeria
Landlines: +[protected]
Fax: +[protected]
Direct Mobile:+[protected]
E-mail: hr@zoommobilenig.com.
Website: www.zoommobilenig.com

So as you can see the same mobile number which is common between 2 different persons.
I called him and he answered welcoming me.I said to him before I pay I must get a hard copy signed from the Ministry of Exterior and mailed registered to my address...then he disappear

Sounds fake from the beginning to have such great offer without even one call of interview.
By the way, he offers as well $6, 500 but for different title.
