is tihis scam ? < transfer money >

I contacted some man he sent mail about his background:

MY BACKGROUND
I was born to a loving couple, a home, by an American man from Dallas Texas and a Canadian woman from Nova Scotia Canada. My father was an international business man who met this Canadian orphan whose only family were close friends.. She says there was something about the man that no woman could ever resist, sometimes she says she sees same in me,lol. During my father's global movement. My father died and she was left alone with me. I met my late wife and best friend in Paris. she was a fashion Designer, Very good at heart. Actually i could say i met her in a funny way, would explain that later. I have a son he is 18 going on 19 his name is Victor he is my lovely prince. I am 6"10 tall, black hair, Hazel eye, always smiley. I am a christian and i attend service weekly
MY JOB
I am a global contractor and a Freelance Engineer. I do basically rig constructions and renovations. or over water bridges. We have worked at many countries across the globe. The present project here is my last on the field and i shall quit field works and continue my works from my home office while my men do the field ops. I think i really have gotten to this height cos i embraced work for so long trying to get over my ex-wife, that i worked this hard, but i think i now realize i can move on.
MY DREAM
I have to tell you how my typical dream day would be like, i just want to spend the rest of my life enjoying the fruit of my labor. I just want a woman who would be my best friend and everything. You know someone whom we would still love each other more as the days pass by, even when we cant make love anymore and all we could do is play bingo,LOL. Someone to cherish, adore and also grow old together with.
I am a total package , i only need someone who understands the value of a good smile.
I cant wait to hear back from you..

Is this a scam ?
please tell me that I can do for him (I think I found scam's man)
thank you very much

It is a scam.

The English is very poor, and specific mistakes tell me that you are dealing with an African, not an American or a Canadian.

As you can see from the search below, parts of all this script have been used MANY times before, with many names.

The best thing you can do is cut off all contact with this scammer immediately. Please see the link for victims in my signature line for more information on steps to take.

thank you very much,I will disconnect him ^^.
