It is a scam and it looks like it was written by a West African.

Very clear and certain signs of being written by a West African scammer as vx says, and a very inexperienced one too.

I love the question regarding the name of your pet which he doesn't require for your wife or children. Presumably if you aren't available to talk on the phone he'll be speaking to your dog.

The point being that scammers believe that making the process complex makes it more credible, but they don't really have a clue. Unfortunately there are much smarter ones out there.

Hi valeriacip. As the other members have indicated it is a scam without doubt. The script you published (above) has been used in previous scam attempts, almost word for word. The scam artists simply change names and a few minor details to make it sound good. One scam e-mail with much of the same text is dated from July of Twenty 09, so the script has been around for a number of years.

You can also search on google for different parts of the script and see for yourself that it's been used quite a bit:
