Puppies from Africa: The newest internet scam?

The Daily News letters e-mail received this note. It's connection to Africa, the text in all caps... sure seems like a scam. The question is, how?

MYNAME IS MRS. JESSICA HERBERT, MY HUSBAND AND I ARE ON A CHRISTAIN MISSION TO AFRICA AND I CAME ALONG WITH MY PUPPY (YORKIE). AFTER A WHILE

I NOTICED THAT THE AFRICAN WEATHER IS NOT GOOD FOR THE PUPPY AND I
HAVE
NOT BEEN ABLE TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER THE WAY I ALWAYS DO BECAUSE OF
MY
JOB.

I NEED SOMEONE TO ADOPT HER AND TAKE CARE OF HER THE WAY I ALWAYS DO.

IF YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF HER DO SEND A REPLY AND I WILL EMAIL YOU HER
PICTURES. I HOPE TO READ FROM YOU.
WARM REGARDS,
MRS. JESSICA HERBERT.

Anyone seen/heard about anything similar?
