Notice he omits to say where he is, allows him to later improvise to match where you live.
Then...
Don't be distracted by the reference to the man's ill son, what this is about is getting sympathy and making you feel guilty if you dare to question or delay the deal - essentially giving the scammer leverage to get you to agree to do as the scammer sais. What the scammer wants is for you to handle money, maybe in the form of checks or bank transfer. Either way, it's an inappropriate request to make of someone that he's never met.
The check will be fake or stolen and will bounce, even if not right away.
If it is to be a bank transfer, then any funds transfered into it will be from someone else that the scammer has duped.
You will be expected to forward the majority of the money to the scammer via anonymous Western Union or similar service. Thus the scammer gets away with the money whilst you are potentially arrested for conspiracy to defraud.

Again, he reminds you about the son to tug on your heart strings. (And purse strings.)
Next is the instruction to pass the extra cash on to a mule, who will then pass it on to the scammer. All these links in the chain are to make it more difficult for the scammer to be pinpointed and identified.
