If your going to conduct a scam it might look better if you didn't use
caps-lock the whole time while typing the message.
If your email traces back to a host in Englewood, CO and you want people to
reply to a free email address I can see your not an aid to anyone...much
less someone in Africa.
good luck with your future scams...please try to put more effort into it
