[Trombone-l] FW: Trombone teacher needed; strange

[Chris Dearth]

Fellow trombone listers,

Got a weird email today on my Hotmail account.  Thought it was a very odd
email.  Smells like some sort of scam.  I removed the persons name in case
it¹s a real person (I don¹t really think it is).  Personally, it stinks of
some sort of email scam you find from various African countries.



Here¹s the message
