Could you provide more info? I have no idea whether you're legit or a Nigerian scammer.

Sure, I'm just not sure of what other info to provide.

Maybe this link will explain a bit more about my situation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achromatopsia#Complete_Achromat...

I think as long as he doesn't ask you for 50 grand to be paid by Western Union to an African country it's safe to assume that he is not a scammer.

I think scammers, even the ones in Nigeria, use a wide variety of tactics. I think it's prudent to be wary in a situation like this, where the OP is explicitly looking to offer services for money in an unusual situation in what will likely be an unconventional transaction.
