Basically they sent me an email that said they wanted to invest in a business that would be profitable in my country. I haven't seen one of these scams before, so I would like to know what their goal is. I would also like some ideas for a business to propose to him, preferably something silly.

It's straight advance fee fraud - there will need to be some fees to be paid by you before they invest in your business.

Welcome Llamaman!

In a lot of my investment baits I propose that the lad invest in my Alpaca fur business – maybe you could do the same with a llama breeding farm.

Sadly, the lad won’t care about the actual investment you suggest, but later down the line an animal farm provides lots of delaying excuses – animals get sick (“I spent all day with the veterinarian”), they get loose, farm hands quit and you have to do all the work, and so on.
