Could it be the same individual? http://www.419baiter.com/_scam_emails/0 ... 3822.shtml

Here is another email from this scammer. Notice the words:

you have to help me send the balance to my client

If somebody follows the instructions of this scammer, when their bank discovers that the cheque is fraudulent, it will subtract from the account all the money it represents. Therefore, the recipient of the cheque will discover that the money they sent to the fake client has been deducted from their own savings, as it is no longer covered by the amount on the cheque.
