Oh, I have seen grammar like this before. I am going to take a stab in the dark and say I bet it originated out of someplace in Africa, but I won't mention any countries by name. It sounds like a scam all right. The last time I got a message like that, I said something like, "Please take me off your email list. If you contact me again, I will have to forward your information on to my friend, who is an agent in the FBI. He is doing a special project in tracking people who are involved in international fraud schemes, and he would be really interested in knowing more about you." Believe, me I never heard from the individual ever again.

Say you don't deal with Alertpay, and that you will be happy to accept a US Postal Money Order and to ship the product once the order clears your bank.

Do not reply or if you must say something say, I am sorry you have contacted the wrong person. I would just delete the email personally.
