NATIONAL CONFERENCE INVITATION IN USA AND SENEGAL

This is the first time I received an invitation like this. I believe it is a scam as there are too many spelling mistakes. Can you confirm that this is a scam? I provide a copy of the letter.

Yes, that a typical fake conference scam. Using free email addresses.
You'd be asked to pay various fees probably via Western Union.

Pretty much the same as the other letter posted. Note that if you replied to their email, there is every chance you get a lot more scam mail in the future. Active email addresses get shared around in scammer groups.

Regards,
George

It's an advanced fee fraud, the sole purpose is to trick you into paying various useless fees, there is NO conference, just thieves and scammers.
