Hello,

My name is Steve Martins I got your e-mail address from an email surfing
marketing company with US chamber of commerce. My late Grandma was a puppy
breeder, she died about 6 month ago and she left 2 Female English Bulldog and
1 Male Yorkshire Terrier before she pass a way. One of the female Bulldog
Puppy recently give birth to 2 litters puppies, they are so adorable....but
due to my work as a Nurse, my job does not permit me to take proper care of
these little puppies, I love to take care of them myself but due to the nature
of my job i does hardly have time for my self, So i decide to look for someone,
who is caring and lovingly parent who will take good care of them and will to
adopt them from me, If you are interested in having one of them, Please contact
me as soon as possible for more details and information about adopting them.

Looking forward to your prompt e-mail again.

It looks like he has a person who may not know it is a scam helping. No telling what he has told the person what the money is for. It could be someone who may believe they are "working from home"

We actually saw this one a LOT back around 2004, and then it died off and the romance and work at home scams took off . . . looks like they are recycling their old scams.
