I would say you've got a Russian/Ukranian scammer there. But it doesn't really matter where they're from - they're definitely a scammer.

Google "elenasweety" and you'll come up with quite a few hits.

The photograph certainly looks like it's been ripped from a modelling site.

Put elenasweety in the Search field and you'll get the profile.

The format of the email address she's given is also suspicious. The 7 sticks out like a sore thumb. Scammers work their way up the numbers as they get found out and have to open new accounts.

And the clincher. A lot of the letter has been copied from here:

Send her a reply and you may get Letter 2 on that page sent to you.
