Yes,I confess.

lmao I read the greeting and already knew it was a scam. Read further(the first sentence), obviously a scam.
When someone sends you an email in English and the English is poor, it's obviously a scam.

Lot of scam emails now come to my inbox daily.

The frequent scam is a flight crash in 2000 and one family is dead so they plan to transfer their deposit to some other third party......


another one is you win from free lotto around 3 000000 USD


See all this email they give finally contact with this yahoo email or hot mail email id ..

Most of the scams are come from Nigeria.

Be aware with scams Never give your credit card number or any E-Transaction ids& passwords.
Regards,

That's a fallacy. Whilst Nigeria has a certain reputation it is certainly not the only country involved in scams of this nature.

Most of the emails like this that i receive originate from Russia. Even more come from Holland.
