You are right to be suspicious--it is indeed a scam. This will turn out to be a "payment processing" job scam. The same script has been used numerous times, with only minor changes.
Check out these search results:

However, having as much of the scammer's script as possible does help us to prevent future scams, so if you could post the other emails, that would help us to help others.

Thanks for posting that. Our fake site killers will be interested in that. The "ws" is Samoa, but the scammer won't be based there.

[zjbcindy]

I got the same thing from yesturday to today.
They got my e-mail address from my resume posted on careerbuilder.com, that's what he said in the e-mail anyway.

[meganm]

I got one yesterday too. It reads:

How nice of our scammer to explain what a business is...I wonder what remedial textbook this came from?

[Dan Jones]

Looks like lads have found Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business

[rockyroad61]

Wow! I got this too. I checked out their website and it looked legit at first until I started filling in the information and came across the part where they ask me for my bank account number. That's where I stopped. I don't give that info to ANYONE. Then I came here and saw this. Thanks guys

[Ralph]
