I actually believed it at first.  Then I did a search online and it seems people ALL OVER the world have been getting emails similar to this one, with the names and money amounts changed.  Some people have actually lost money to this.  Good thing i didn't fall for it, hehe.

Yep, there are lots of different ones.  Send them the other's contacts and say "I though he might be of service to you"

Theres a website devoted to people who get the scammers back, sometimes actually getting money from them to prove it isnt a scam!!!
