Theists/atheists/etc: What should I do with the $14,600,000 a banker in Burkina Faso is going to send me?

I always thought of Burkina Faso as a relatively poor country, but apparently I was wrong. Usman Adu of the bank of africa just emailed me to say I was getting 14.6 mil! Anyone know any good charities/mansions/cars they can recommend? Oops, Mr. Adu asked me to keep this confidential, hope I didn't blow it....

Update:

Will Smith: Back off, he wrote me first!

Magpie: 419eater is funny, I don't think I'm going to do it but I'd like to read about what happened with people who did.

Update 2:

tjs: wow, a minha igreja seja rica tambem! ;) (my church will be rich too)

    Be careful; the execs at AIG will figure out some way that you're supposed to pay them a bonus with the money.

    For that you could probably buy Burkina Faso.

    The probability that you are falling into a fraud is extremely high, that is, if you are telling the truth.

    The probability that you are lying is just as high and is only curious of how readers will respond to your question.
