Thank you for your amazing job by the way. This website is so helpful !!!!

Your instinct is correct. It's a scam.
You can actually find the first paragraph, word for word, in this scam: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=47662&p=114158

The English tells me the scammer is African, but notice that he also can't seem to decide whether he has a daughter or a son.

Ah !! Thanks a lot !
