Probably should've poked around a bit on line, myself.
So, this is the setup -- they'll try to get what they want from me if I continue.
I knew it was too good to be true! ;)

I always send them a nice letter, thanking them, and cc it to Interpol... >>:

The money part comes later. They want to know more about you ect, then they it you with the money part.
-
That's what I figured, CR...thanks!

Ya last time I tried to bait a scammer there was around 3 emails back and forth before they wanted my bank info

You should reply and see how long it takes before they want your bank info.

see how low they'll go.
Say stuff like "excellent, this will help pay for a new wheelchair as well as help me buy the medication and medical caretakers I need for my advanced Multiple Sclerosis, as well as the funerals for my wife and children who were catastrophically killed last week by a burglar, I could do nothing due to my illness but watch as my family was brutally slain.
Thank goodness there are still good people out there that are willing to run lotteries and restore the faith of those who feel as if they have been forsaken in so many ways. As my Uncle Mortimer said immediately before his death, "this world has winners, and this world has losers... but sometimes, the winners are the losers and the losers really win with what's important. I'll be right back, I have to feed the tigers."
