The below House of Senate scam is almost as old as the concept of 419 mails.
When you get a mail that sounds too good to be true, it probably is. When you get a mail written in all-caps, it’s probably written by someone who isn’t quite sure about the concept of capitalization, e.g. someone who doesn’t have too good a grip of the language they are writing in.
When you get a mail without a to-address, it’s probably not posted to you alone. And, when you get a mail with differing from- and reply-to addresses… well.
The below request for an address is nothing but yet another scam. Just throw it away and forget about it.
