"Hello,The clues are there that this is a scam in the making. The poor English in the email is repeated on their web site. They can't even spell their own name in their HTML header:

It carries on in the text on their web site:
Their web site is also a bit too "young" to be credible.
Domain ID:D165362709-LRORIt's curious that their web site makes a different claim:

Registrant Name:Abolaji Akindejoye
This isn't the only "foundation" that "Abolaji Akindejoye" has registered. Someone with that name also registered "drrichardsfoundation.com" from Lagos, Nigeria on 3rd February this year and it's already been suspended. I wonder why?
There is, of course, no record of this "foundation" or the "Dr Richards Foundation" ever doing anything, presumably because it's a scam.
Clearly they're trying to exploit the name of "Stelios" (the correct spelling), the founder of the Easy Group, most known for EasyJet, the British budget airline. Their founder, Stelios Haji-Ioannou, (understandably known to everyone simply as Stelios). His genuine philanthropic foundation can be seen at www.stelios.com.
If you receive this email or anything like it I suggest you just delete it.Any source
