Money laundering

Just recieved this email - sounds tempting eh?? not

Subject: Part time employment opportunity - FAO ****
From: CandidateEmail.00001169386333@monster.com
Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2007 15:32:13 +0000 (GMT)
To: ****
We have found your resume at Monster.co.uk and we would like to offer you a job.
It is a part-time job that consists of receiving payments from customers (through
bank transfers) and then making further payments to our main office or to one of
our regional affiliated departments, depending on the customer's location.

Your commission as an agent is 6% of each transaction. For example, if you receive
2000 GBP to your bank account, you will withdraw the money and keep 120 GBP for
yourself. Your salary will be approximately 12000 GBP per year. The hours for this
work are flexible and can be combined with any permanent or other part-time job,
with an average workload of up to 10 hours a week.

All additional money transfer fees and money transfer-related charges are covered
and paid for by our company. Therefore you'll only be responsible for making the
proper payments in time (i.e. within 48 hrs of successful receipt into your account).
Each transaction will be transferred only after prior notification, which will
sometimes be a notification by phone call.

Our company's principal business is based on a peer-to-peer type payment network,
this business model heavily employs all the latest internet technologies. We are one
of only a few companies that uses regional representatives in its business operations.
This avoids high foreign taxation and cross-board acquisition fees. If you are
interested in our offer, please feel free to ask for details of the general
provisions of the contract.

Best regards,
Rita Widmer

I got the exact same email, I thought about trying to email them back, but I don't have the know-how to create a virus to attach to said email that would be so virulent as to not only destroy their computer, but actually make the viewer blind and sterile. I'll add 'learn to create virus' to my to do list.
