...for administration purposes.
Now, he is from the oil sector, and that industry does have that kind of money.
Question is...would I be 'covering all my bases' if I sent only half the money to begin with?

Tell him to bring the money to your house! If he's so rich, he can hire a private jet. Then take the 10 million and give him his 10 k. Sounds fair to me.

They say that there is like a ton of money waiting for you but theres always that stupid catch. and the catch is that you send lots of money first for some bougus reason. Trust me if you do this you will regret it for a long time. 1000 % scam and spam lol

it's a scam!!! Forward the email to spam@uce.gov
----------------------------------
To Avoid scams here is what i tell people...
All spam emails/unsolicited phone calls/letters and faxes are scams.
As a general rule - ANYTHING involving Western Union/money gram = Scam.
my Advice: Don't deal with anyone out of state or from a foreign
country or Accept or cash checks from strangers and never use wire/bank
transfer services.. you risk losing your $$ and your mind.
Remember, if it sounds too good
to be true, it probably is! NEVER(ever) give out your personal
information to strangers online or offline! Always be on guard.

Well, you'd only be getting scammed out of $5000 instead of $10,000 if you just sent half of what he's asking for.
Come on now, did you really think for even a minute this was real?

DO NOT, REPEAT, DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY. Delete this and any other kind of message like this.
Of course if you like blowing your money and don't care, I could think of many other ways your could do so...a trip to Las Vegas would be a lot more fun with similar results.

Don't send him ANY money!! Its a scam. Report the e-mail as spam and forget about it. Don't give him any personal information either. This is how they steal your identity.

Delete it, did you not see the segment on one of those shows 20 20 or 48 hours, (don't know which one) but they checked these guys out. They are after your money. My advice is delete, delete, and delete.
