It’s not especially relevant, but the setup of this reminds of the Spanish Prisoner scam.
DEAR SIR:
Good day! I look forward to doing business with you! I am a medical researcher who has unlocked the secret to informational immortality. However, in order to prove my technique works and collect a sum of $100000 (one hundred thousand) USD, I must first raise $25,000 (twenty five thousand) USD. If you can help me by sending me this small sum, I will be happy to provide immortality to you and your suffering species.
Looking forwards to strong business relations,
etc.
