    Hand him over to the people at the 419eater.com forum. They'll eat 'em up and make him look like a fool.

    How do you KNOW it's a fake? There's a lot of money confiscated in (Edit) the UK.

    Because people don't randomly give away money like that.
    Its written like a typical scam letter. Bull**** reason fr why the money is to be yours, reason why they need personal info, etc etc.

    Also, the email had no return address.

    i got the same email and responded:

    Mr. Williams...

    Thank you for the offer, but I'm a bit confused. Why have you deciced to email me ...? How did you get my email address and why have you chosen me for this venture...? Don't get me wrong, it's a very exciting thought, but surely you can contact someone you know, right...? Also, are you aware that I'm in the United States...? Wouldn't it be easier for you to get someone in England to help you with this...? Just wondering.

    Sincerely yours,

    Richard Fitzwell

    those 419 scams, as they're called, is everywhere !!! I have receive a LOT of those and so did my hubby.
    We turn them over to the police as they try to track down those scammer's.
    It was on TV here , for about a year ago..... they have tricked a lot of people to agree on those deals... but all that happened was that a lot of people lost everything they owned !

    But yes.... could be nice if it was true ;):D
