In these scams, the scammer will generally use prewritten scripts for teh early part of his scam, normally, it isn't until after the money requests before you start to get them diverting too far from their scripted replies.

Because of the scripted nature of these scams it is often possible to find other similiar scams using the exact same wording.

This scam is no different, I have picked out one of the early lines in the above email and done an exact search on it;

"Greetings to you my friend, I know this will come to you as a surprise "

By searching on that exact line I got over 100 exact hits, all scam related, you can view those results Right Click here and select "open link in new window" to see the many exact results on that search

It is also worth noting that the scammer has suggested;
The content of the package is $20,000,000.00 all in $100 bills,


That would be a huge package to hold that much money, it would hardly fit in your average envelope, in fact, it wouldn't fit into too many boxes either, according to one piece of information I found the weight of that much money would be around about 450 pounds.
