Why would Warren Buffet* be emailing you from a .jp (Japanese) domain.
This is a scam. Ignore it.

I felt the need to add some sort of reasoning because the OP seems to need it. But yeah...

That's a Japanese email address (the .or.jp is an obvious giveaway). The sender is from Japan, not the US. So this is 100% a random person trying to scam.

Doesn't mean they are from Japan exactly, but it does mean they aren't Buffet.
Buffet wouldn't have to use a Japanese email address.

Indeed, good luck in the fight against all your financial crisis.
It’s a very common English phrase.
I got rich from all those emails from Bill Gates in the late 90s. He gave me $1 for every person I forwarded emails to.

Well that’s very nice of him. You should definitely accept because he can afford it. /s

My favorite part was the .jp. the email reads like someone whose primary language isn't English. Lol.

I have a great bridge in New York City that I need to sell quickly because of a family emergency, so I am selling it for cheap. Please send me just $100 and your full address and I will send you the sale deed by return mail.
