Nigerian asks me to help him scam people

I write a column for the print edition of Playboy called "Living Online." Here's an email I received:
Hi, I am an ardent raeder of your exciting magazine and has found it irresistible and quite useful in improving my sex knowledge and i wish to commend you on this.

I would please request you send me names and e-mail addresses of penpals preferably women in their 40's or divorcee's from the US or the PACIFIC.

I'm a graduate of ANTHROPOLOGY,with majors in Disaster studies,from the UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN.NIGERIA.I'm in my mid 20's,with a medium height of 5.8" and sexually active.

Hope to read from you soon.

CHEERS!!!

Regards,
