Sounds Nigrerian to me. The real sender of the post would have been in the header part of the message. I suspect it would be from <randomforename><randomsurname><randum5digitnumber>@yahoo.com

I have also started receiving similiar emails to the examples you have posted. Only really started getting them over the part few weeks. The strange thing is that they send them to my main email address, which i only use for job applications and other important things. I have a feeling that they have got hold of the email address from one of the job sites, where i have uploaded my cv?
