I would strongly suggest you take the time to report this person to the FBI. I too received a "employment opportunity" from this person. His email is an obvious scam. You can get information to report him at this link: http://www.fbi.gov/scams-safety/e-scams
I replied to his email stating he was reported to the FBI. The funny thing is, that the email he sent contained my resume and all of my contact information.... Here is our communications:
Edward:
You have been reported to the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation for fraud.
I strongly suggest that you halt all illegal actions to bait individuals who are seeking to find employment.
