No. Ge rid of it. As far as I am concerned these mails are fair game
for any response up to and including extortion attemtps and DOS
attacks against this person''s "buisiness. You should see some of the
shit I send. But it's also counterproductive to respond to spam, so I
don't do it.

For fun, check out www.scamorama.com and 419eater.com. These are
practically identical to 419 attempts, and I I don't ascribe civill
rights to the perpetrators of such.
