Hi cousins, Those are called "419 scams" because of the number of statute that prohibits that type of scam activity. If you google for "419 scam" you will get lots of information back about them. Don't answer them, they are scams to get you to part with your money. You will never see a single dime of anything that that e-mailer is promising to give you. They just spam everyone and hope that some innocent sucker answers them. Of course, some innocent person always answers. And that's why those scams keep going around.
