Scammers work with pre written scripts. He got a reply from you so he just thought you were responding to the job offer and sent you his second script without reading your first Email.

Even if he did he wouldn't be concerned about you reporting his Email to law enforcement he is, most likely, in a country far away and nobody is going to come after him for sending out a scam Email.

The best way you can disrupt his scam is to post the full Email on here (but blank out any of your personal details) so if someone is suspicious whilst considering this bogus employment offer and Googles his Email address they will be sent here and will then probably catch on it is a scam.

Is there a website for ukcorporator?

As 4x1x9 said, scammers work with scripts. Sometimes people send complete garbage in answer to the first script, and the scammer just sends the second script.

This scammer is West African, as his writing shows. Did he write anything else?

Don't tell a scammer that he's a scammer. It doesn't stop him at all. Just ignore him and he'll go away.

Would just like to add: it0s not evident to me from original post if you provided the scammer with your home address. If you have, there's a chance you might have a check or money order incoming. In case you do get one, MAKE SURE TO DESTROY IT. It'll be 100% counterfeit.
