    It's a scam. If you reply, the next email explains that she is overseas and needs to transfer money to the UK but has no bank account, or needs to purchase something which can only be purchased in the UK, or desperately needs to buy medicine for her sick relative and it is much cheaper in the UK, or some other sob story. I'm sure you can guess the rest. Scammer use these sites because they allow them to contact large numbers of people without knowing their email adresses. Remember you can PM anyone. Delete.
