Yes. This is a typical nigerian scam - and one that's reasonably recent.
Not more than 4..5 years old at any rate.

Quite targeted in that the spammer reads through old email to invent a
plausible excuse.

A friend's uncle is a doctor who goes to Africa a lot and had this happen
to him, and the email went out with enough plausible looking details - a
conference in nigeria that he HAD attended earlier, for example - according
to the scam, he was in nigeria at that moment, had been mugged and needed
his friends to wire some money over.

And here, its signed like Rony signs his email ..
