Who can I report this to? Can we arrest this person?!

Don't open unsolicited email from unknown persons. You will never find anything of value in this spam. Just delete it unopened and unread. Opening it lets the sender know they have a live email address and you will be bombarded with all sorts of spam and similar 419 scams.
This is a very, very old scam. Don't waste anyone's time reporting it. Unless you stupidly sent lost money to the scam, no law enforcement agency is interested.

First of all, you received this email in YOUR email box, correct?
If this individual was on the up and up, why would he request that you also send him your email address, since he sent this to yours?
perhaps the Federal Bureau of Investigation would be interested in getting a copy of this email, for their files of new Internet con games circulating on the Internet.
I think these clowns send out hundreds of these emails all at once, under spam and if they get one turkey to reply with all the information they have requested, they are happy campers.
Call the FBI office in your city and ask them how you should proceed with this, they might be interested in setting up a "sting operation" just to see who they catch in the net.

On my computer, I click on messages then scroll down to block sender then OK it, problem solved. It's a scam so don't click on it. I receive about three or four a day like that.
Notice how most of your answers got 2 thumbs down on every single one of them? It's because they are trolls working this board. Don't give in to them or that scam mail.

I used to get a lot of them. I started replying that I was reporting them to the FBI and not to contact me again. That stopped a lot of it.

I'm not sure who to report it to.
see if your local police or FBI office has a e-mail address for Cybercrime.
