I really like the Nigerian Prince writing style in the same way I admire a good stack smashing exploit. So I think high school writing teachers should assign these letters as reading/writing exercises the way a Berkeley 61C kind of class should assign stack smashing as a problem set.
You learn a little about style, voice and a convincing argument from these letters. Writing one forces you to step out of your self. It also inoculates you to a degree.
I have been known to reply to friends' emails in Nigerian Prince style. ALL CAPS. FULL STOP.
