These scammers send that same mail out to hundreds of people a day around the country which us why they didn't put in a city name
It's a typical Nigeran fake check scam.

NEVER give your home address to anyone on Craigslist until you have met them in a public location first to verify their identity

The fact they start a sentence with "Am" instead of "I am" is typical of West African syntax. Nigerians also say "am Patrick by name" instead of "my name is Patrick"

Do not respond

It's already been reported http://www.scamguard.com/categories/othe...-his-info/
Or here with a few changes http://scamvictimsunited.com/phpBB2/view...=22&t=5522 -- scroll to the 4th post
Here he says his name is Ruth https://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?...&t=1164664
There are over 3000 reports of this scam already
