This is a scam, I get this garbage everyday in my inbox. It is best to just ignore and delete. So many people have either had their identity stolen, lost money in there bank accounts, or have been arrested for cashing fraud checks from these types of letters. There are bad people in this world and sometimes it is hard to avoid them. They seem to be everywhere. Just delete every message you recieve like this, because trust me once you get one, you get all kinds.

I also received this kind of email every day and it is really a big scam. I really feel sorry for those who was being arrested for cashing fraud checks. They are really bad people that really fool other people.
