Hi Gaby. An email like that would never be downloaded onto my computer. I only get the sender and header notification and choose whether to delete or accept. I delete emails from anyone I don't know, so they are NEVER downloaded to my computer.

Oh, don't feel picked on; they're equal opportunity scammers, hun! They don't get an answer, they'll just move on to the next one, looking for a sucker. There are gazillions of versions of this scam. And yes, he is Nigerian. The whole thing is known AS "The Nigerian Scam!"

So.......what do you plan on coming back as in your second life.....I hate those kinds of emails.....the ones that also say you have won a bunch of money....they would like all your personal info so that they can scam you and steal your identity! I'd like to have the opportunity to face to face tell them what I think of them!

It's a scam. Report it if you can figure out to whom it should be sent. This particular type of scam is very common online. I suppose it used to be off-line, as well, but I never encountered it pre-computer.
Anyway, just get rid of it.

No I have not had this particular piece of mail but I get so much crappy emails from all over the world and they are all to do with money. Happily most of them go to my Spam Folder.

Hello gabs, this si a really sick email. I will never understand how people can find it in themselves to sit and think up an email like this. And it is even more of a shame because you know that there are people out there that believes these emails and end up losing so much.
I thank you for sharing this email because I am sure there some out there that will recieve this email and thanks to you will be aware in not buying into this scam..thanks a bunch
