Why would an employee of the Foundation De France use the private e-mail address of someone called “Hassan Riaz” to send this message?
I reckon Hassan either made a mistake or someone has hijacked his e-mail account.
Personally, I like to believe the he made a mistake.

I got this same E mail yesterday and then again today
Yes, they send out several thousand e-mails a day, so chances are you will get it a couple of times once you are in their mailing lists.

what kind of scam is it by basic internet infomation that they already have? All the questions they asked you can find directly on the internet since they coencidently stole access to my email account. oh yueah email me expidentures@aol.com
Eric,
that’s the point. These people research the Internet and harvest e-mail addresses and send out these scam messages by the hundreds and thousands.
That’s why I get between 15 to 20 emails a day.
