to send them money. They were going to send me money; 25% of the $26

concern was that this email was soliciting information that if someone sent

Hi, I got this email, too. It is a fraud scam, called the Nigerian Scam. You
are asked to forward the whole email, along with headers to the FBI. I'll
take the opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Jan Moore, I teach art
four days per week at the National Instite of Art and Disabilities in
Richmond, California, a full day program for developmentally disabled adults.
I'm the textiles teacher, and we create quilts, weave, print on fabric, dye
fabric and yarn, make paper, and any other technique or project I can come up
with. It's fun and great to have a dedicated space. The artists have a range
of ages and abilities, but have developed individual styles over the years.
We have a gallery and regular exhibitions. I also weave tapestry for my own
art practice. Glad to meet you all and read your wonderful ideas. Jan Moore
