Actually, that’s not quite accurate – it is in fact sifymail.com that she has, apparently, sent this email from, but it may as well be iffymail because that is exactly what this is – iffy.
So iffy in fact that it is actually a scam – Mrs Mary Williams from Benin, a small and virtually unknown country next door to… you guessed it… Nigeria, is almost certainly going to want a whole heap of personal information in addition to advance fees to pay for bribes, attorneys and unforseen circumstances.
As an aside, I know that ’she’ says she is a French speaker but why oh why does she have so many problems with the capitalisation of her words?!?
