Email Spammer with an Indonesian Name

The modus operandi is the same: losing money and request money transfer. The country of origin is the same: Nigeria.  The different this time is the name. It bears an Indonesian (Javanese name). Possibility: the spammer either the same person with more sophiscated method i.e. using local name to particular people or they are just really an Indonesian who smells that spamming is a good business. Or at least, a good try to earn money the easy way.

Here’s the “money transfer request” spam from person called himself  Sutikno Hardjosuwarno send to my Gmail. It’s sent to multiple destinations:
