Re: strange emails



Not that particular one, but I react to any business or investment proposals
from Africa, particularly Nigeria, the same way. Nigerian investment and
business proposals in the mail or on-line tend to originate from a very
well-established and long-lived scam operation(s). The perpetrators usually
want to link their bank account to yours for the transfer of funds.

Best wishes,
