Good Day Indeed! A good day for another silly scam. I find it difficult to believe that anyone falls for these but, it happens everyday. Beware of all e-mail; Google for anything even slightly suspicious.
Coincidentally this piece of SPAM comes from the giant Google mail servers in Mountain View, California; IP address 209.85.192.195 to be specific. Yet the message poses as being from dbinibrahim@yahoo.com. It just goes to prove that anyone's mail servers can be put to misuse.
In a sad attempt to appear legitimate the scammer has placed a link to an old Defense.gov news article from 2005. So very clever...
Don't fall for it; delete.
