Shrug, seems to me he could do a lot better than ask a random unknown to help transfer his large amount of money for him.

Also as I pointed out there are at least 3 hidden lies in this email.

I am certain of nothing; just saying that this has all the signs of a typical scam, and that if it arrived in my inbox I would definitely not trust it.

:facepalm:

I was really looking forward to joining aswell...

Everybody will eventually run worse than they thought was possible. The difference between a winner and a loser is that the latter thinks they do not deserve it.
