You will have more than likely been BCC'd on the email (probably along with a number of others).

A quick search on the rather strange phrase 'Cat Tomis also helps me to write you the letter' reveals this.

how interesting . thanks b8er !

Its just a vlad using some sort of program to guess email addresses or who bought a list of addresses.
Somewhat common

Reply to them from a different safe baiting acct and you should see a pretty quick 'visa and travel' scam

'Hello,I love you,I want to come to YOUR CITY and do you...'

^^ or perhaps a please let me deposit this money into your account and forward it to me via western union.

Definately a scam and not at all uncommon

If I might , I'll have a crack at it

The IP shows 213.219.237.26 which equals, Moscow, Moskva, Russia.

It's always handy to post a photo if you have one, quite often Tineye
will pick it up, and while we know it's stolen, Tineye will show it's been used before, or show more in the set.

It could also be a translation service scam. After three or four emails, she tells you that in order to keep writing to her, you now have to pay for someone to translate.
