Yeah, sounds vaguely bogus but very civil.  

Now if it was Mrs. Oliver Stone, I'd be all over this. That would have to be legit.

1) How stupid can the ferriners be to think anyone would even consider this.
2) There are some of us that actually would consider this.

Most of us would rationally conclude #1. But many years ago someone went to the trouble of doing the tiny percentages, which unfortunately I can't remember, explaining that these scams keep appearing because even say it was 0.00001% (I'm making that up) of the internet population, enough people hand over enough money, it makes it worth their while to run the scams.

I read that these things are done with a precise amount of 'poor' english because it makes it convincing to their target audience.
