First of all, I never contacted anyone in regards to making any business proposal. Secondly this is coming from someone in another country looking to make a business with someone else they don't even know. Seem funny to you? It's because it's a scam.
What to do?
Well with Gmail I can report these emails as phishing emails as well as spam. I do this to let gmail know though they can take the appropriate action against these criminals. Whether much can or is done I don't really know but I still do it regardless just in case. You never know right? So how to report phishing with gmail is you can click on the top right where it says "REPLY" then a list drops down. Then select "REPORT PHISHING" and it takes it from there!
