Another classic '419' style of scam - sender is requesting volunteers to help 'control the flow' of charity donations. This is a technique used to trick people into laundering money by allowing it to pass from the scammers through your account to its final destination.

1. A '419' style of scam. In this case the scammers are trying to take advantage of your goodwill to trick you into laundering money for them under the guise of 'charitable' donations.

2. Sender uses a free web based email address rather than one tied to the organisation they are supposedly from. A sure sign of a spoof.
