Sounds like a Nigerian scam again. I did the same as you and after spinning the guy for over two weeks and explaining delays on my end, he sent me a final email to say that the deal was off.... I then took offense at him "firing" me and that since we had traded many emails that almost formed a binding contract, that I was going to take this matter up with the authorities to get the $10million promised to me. The idiot sent me a final email telling me that I could try to get something from him.... Good luck and I will be following this! Jason,

Warm wishes to you and your wife and of course to your beautiful daughter. As you have already expressed elsewhere there is NOTHING like parenthood. Second, I LOVE that you are following through with this email thread. I have always wanted to respond to one of these, and I am thrilled to live vicariously through your emails! LOL. Believe it or not, in the days long before the Internet, similar offers - er, scams - er, "windfalls" would occasionally come through the Telex machine... Everything old is new again. I look forward to your honorable friend's urgent response! Happy Holidays! Jason, first a belated CONGRATS on the birth of London.
