Answer 1

I think everyone in the world got this email. It is a scam. Read it over and think about it. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is not.

Answer 2

i agreed with everybody... it is a scam.... don't fall for it.....

Answer 3

Not long ago another email like this one did the rounds in SA, and someone fell for it, they put up the $, and were supposed to meet with the people. They went off to the meeting, their body was found a week later - you work out the maths. It's the 419 scam, welcome to it.

Answer 4

The person who sent you that e-mail has never been to South Africa, and I doubt he/she has been to Malaysia either.

Do not respond to that e-mail unless you are willing to put up $1,000 to show you are sincere in your belief this is an honest endeavor.  Say good bye to the cash.  You may also be asked to give a credit card number with expiration date or your bank account information.

DO NOT FALL FOR THIS GARBAGE.
