this is an email which i received today.....made me giggle first off cos they obviously think I am a bloke

Being a Dr and having an email address which in no way reveals my gender prob confused the poor princess hehe. I removed my surname for obvious reasons

I was wondering how many others receive such bizarre emails and if anyone has ever replied to any - and if they have - what happened ??? I was wondering where this person got my name and email from at first but then i do have a few things published on the internet so i guess its not too hard to fathom.
Dear Dr .........
I got your contact from the internet, and picked interest to write you.I am a female student of University of Cotonou Republic Du Benin. I am 24 yrs old. I do like any person who can be caring, loving and home oriented. I will love to have a long-term relationship with you and to know more about you. I would like to build up a solid foundation with you in time coming if you will be able to help me in this transaction.
Well, my father died earlier two months ago and left me and my younger brother behind. He was a king, which our town citizens titled him before he died. I was a princess to him and I am the only person who can take care of his wealth now because my younger brother is still a kid and my mother is not literate enough to know my entire father's wealth.
He left $27,350,000 [Twenty Seven Million Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars)with an oversea security company and I don't know how to start up with the whole thing and what I will do to invest this money somewhere in abroad, so that my father's kindred will not take over what belongs to my father and his name, which they are planning to do without my consent because I am a female as stated by our culture in the town. That is why I felt happy when I saw your contact because I strongly believe that by the grace of God, you will surely help me invest this money. I am ready to pay 20% of the total amount to you if you will sincerely help us in this business and another 10%interest of annual income to you, for handling this business for us, which you will strongly have absolute control over.
If you will handle this project sincerely and also willing to assist me in lifting this fund, kindly reach me and I will link you to and an oversea security company for further agreement.
Please, note that this transaction is 100% risk free and I hope to
commence the transaction as quickly as possible.

onward procession.
