Hi there . It sounds like a textbook scam to me. I personally would just delete it. I have seen this kind of thing before......

Scam or not,  I have a real thing about people who let such lousy grammar  loose  on the internet.   Feel free to call me a crazy old woman.   In all seriousness I would avoid this one like the plague.

SCAM......stay away....

Marty these scams are mostly from foreign people who do not have a good command of the English language.
While I have my  moments, being form Germany, I am doing waaayyyyyy better than these peeps.....LOL

Total scam, delete it.

Marty, Monika's right.  These people are not in English speaking countries and likely use Google translate to write the message.  That's part of how you can tell it's a scam.

Thanks ladies, I do appreciate your thoughts.   I thought so too but more clarity now having heard your thoughts.

It's a scam alright and one that has been going on for quite a long time.  I've gotten this and similar messages here myself.
