I told him what do you need.. but he did'nt email me anymore.. after sometime.. about 3mons he email me again saying he have succesfully recieved the money with a help from another person. and for my past efforst to help him, he decided to give me $800,000.00. I plan to recieve it with large amount of caution. what do you think? is this a hoax? is my life in danger?

I don't know if your life is in danger, but it definitely sounds like a hoax. Search the Internet for top scams. I bet you'll find it on one of the top lists.
Don't give him any personal information.

I get the same song and dance now and then only with more money from some royal long lost relative of mine in Africa and I'm not even black. Someone is playing you for a sucker. Don't fall for it. Don't even bother answering these things.

yeah, I got that same email. Your last name must be Gotell. Cause that is what he said to me. And then he said it to my mother in law, so that must mean your last name is Hartwell...yeah. Nothing in life is free like that. If you don't know who is sending you stuff, then it is not for you.
