I'm sure if someone who is commuting suicide because their family's died or has any physical problems, isn't selfish or cowardly. It's logical, they're depressed every day and the only way they can get rid of it is by killing themselves. (Sorry to put it harshly)
Well that would make it sound legit, a lot of the scam mail has good English, they want it to sound as real as possible. I sorta get what your trying to say though.. Anyway I get alot of emails like that because I register my email on alot of websites (Lots of spam but meh) so I knew it was fake :D
