Default To believe or not to believe....

that is the question!

Got some random sneding me 2 emails (and 2 duplicates to another of my emails) asking for web design work.

Now Im quite a suspicious and cautious person anyway, but he seemed to be in quite a rush from the way I interpreted it, and I assume it is spam?
And I quote;

"Caroline,
I am delighted to have found your details. One question can you design websites? I am also a student from Sunderland, just graduated 2007 November was studying MBA(business administration). I have registered my company and have been looking for web developers etc.
Can you please let me know, i am looking for logo design, letter head(s), website and business cards.
Please get back to me on this e-mail during working hours and on 'said email' after hours, also you can call me on 'said number' or work number 'said number'.

I wait to hear from you.


Honoured"

And then a few hours later

"Caroline,
May you please get back to me, i am really interested in your work.
I have already bought web hosting space for 'said link'. I have been looking around for someone who can design my website.
What i am looking for is web design, Logo, letterheads, business cards. My logo should be used on all business stationary e.g compliments sleeps, on business cards etc.
Can you do a demonstration for me for this company.
Please do call me on 'said mobile' after work hours and 'said landline' during work hours or e-mail me on 'said email'.
I wait to hear from you.
Sincerely
Honoured mamvura"

Am I being paranoid or is this just rubbish?
