A very intersting e-mail, isn't it? A lot of very interesting typos and errors. Let's say, their English is not perfect but it seems, their belief in their "business" is!
As some of my friends know, I'm a huge fan of internet search. I digged a bit in Google, and found a perfect scam-fighting site http://www.419eater.com/index.htm There you can find a lot of scams, incl. this one I mentioned above. If somebody is interested in scams and how to fight them, he will find a lot of useful information there!

The saddest thing about all internet scams is that the newbies don't know about them, and are falling into traps. We can warn them as much as possible but anyway thousands unexperienced people are joining scam programs every day. It seems everyone has to learn of his own mistakes...

i would just probably ignore the email and put it inside my scam list. I just wish that these people will get caught and serve a full life sentence in jail. Scammers are clever nowadays, they even know how to operate HYIPs site. Hope everyone is enlighten by your warning and be wise. Thanks.

It does always make me wonder HOW people think it's authentic. I mean are there truly people out there that are THAT gullible?

I also received so many emails of that nature. There was one that I responded together with me mobile phone number and a person even called me up inviting me to go to Spain to claim the money. I just smile at the thought. At least he got the bill of calling me up. Now I just ignore those emails. Anyway, I am sure almost all of us here are already aware that they are all scams. Hey even kids could easily recognized them as such.
