Oooh, a new (to me) scam email

This one invites me to join in a contract selling computers etc to Dubai. I was going to file it in the 'wrong Ian' folder when I look a bit further and see what the carrot they're dangling in front of me is:

Total Approved Over-Invoiced Amount: €24,923,362.00
Estimated Cost to Supply: €4,923,362.00.
Estimated Profit: €20,000,000.00

... with that profit split three ways.

I'm wondering if the invoice amount, exactly 20 million more than the supply cost, is a way to screen for gullible people. If it had been

Total Approved Over-Invoiced Amount: €25,000,000
Estimated Cost to Supply: €21,923,362
Estimated Profit: €3,076,638

... it'd still have been worthwhile joining in (a million Euro each!) and a lot more realistic.
