Obviously not Western Union....

AUTHOR: Edgeman - Chico (U.S.A.)

One should be able to tell by the second paragraph that this came from a scammer. If one can't tell that it's a scam after the first few sentences, they need to keep reading it until they understand it.

Of course, another hint is the email address: western.union_moneytransferdepartment@live.fr

Seriously? Since when does Western Union send messages of this sort through a free email service?
