Time for another of these emails. Unusually, this wasn't sent to unspecified recipients but direct to an email box. They have taken the time and effort to send the emails individually, but not the effort to make the single paragraph email readable.
It's going to be a con in one of two possible ways (at least).
1) Possbily you could get yourself involved in illegal money laundering.
2) You could receive a cheque, bank in, wire the equivalent funds to them only to find that the cheque has actually bounced, thereby leaving you out of pocket.
Either way, no reputable company would randomly email people from spam lists asking them to receive and forward money on their behalf. If an offer seems to good to be true....
Steer clear of it. Here's the email:
