As one squirrel to another, my advice is to keep it very short and sweet.
The lad is working on what we call a script - basically, he just copies and pastes an already written format. It's going to take a few emails before you can get him off that script as, like the dumb mugu he is, he will be operating on autopilot.

As simple "I'm interested. Please tell me more" is all you need. I wouldn't even bother filling out the details just yet.

Anything longer is a waste of time as he almost certainly won't bother to read it.

The deeper you go, the more creative you can become. But never forget - let the lad do all the work.

I know about the script, I just wasn't sure where to start. I'll delay and try to get him of the script.

How about this as a response?

Code:

Allow me to introduce myself. I am Jordan Walter, CEO of Morgan-Walter Incorporated, a large retail toy company. Can you give the details of this offer?

Thanks,

Jordan Walter
CEO of Morgan-Walter Inc

That should be fine.
Just be careful that the lad doesn't think you're too smart a cookie - Remember: he's looking for an easy mark.

www.cenbank.org is entirely genuine, and not involved in the scam. Lads often do things like that
