Is it a CHEAT?

Travel Info
Hey guys,
I received an email from a guy working in Bank of Africa in Africa,
he said he wanna transfer a huge sum of money from a deceased person who saves money in the bank.
The sum is USD$12.5M, this email sender wants to transfer the money in my account then transfer back to his account and I'll receive a percentage. He said he got my email address through business inquires from the international ministry chamber of commerce in his country.
See, he wrote this "As a civil servant and a Burkinabe the code of conduct of our bank forbid us to owe a foreign account.That is why I decided to contacted you."
his COUNTRY OF ORIGIN:BURKINA-FASO.
he even gave me his phone number.

Is it a cheat or its real?
thanks for the answers

did you give him your ac number?
He wants your help stealing 12.5 million dollars and you have to ask if he is honest? OF Course it's a scam what he really want's is your bank account # so he can arrange a tranfer of funds, he'll want to set up the tranfers so he can drain your
bank account tell him nothing!!!!

P.S. there are sleazy people who sell E-mail adress lists.
