In my email they are actually using names from the ecowas board members. That should be ilegal.

Mine was to contact Dr. Marvis Blakee. It came from Mrs. Rhoda Jones. The entire message was mispelled with butchered grammar. I'm sure if this was even close to being legit it would have been professionally written. What a crock!!
