Did anyone else get this?

I received this lead and want to know if anyone else got it. Do you think this is legitimate? I check out the website and it all looks good but you can fake that.
"im attaching the G script i do not know why it has not been sent with the job posting . can you give me a custom read for it . the budget is usd 50 .. we operate from the middle east and there is no pay pal here .
what i usually do is give work thru out the month and by month end i send you a money trasfer via western union trasfer charges on us .
this way i can keep ordering jobs form you and send you the balance by month end . let me knw if you are ok wit that"

The script is very short only 2 lines long.

Thanks in advance

Sorry, this screams scam to me.

I'm with Scott N, (whose Norwegian is excellent, by the way).
Send them a reply that your standard procedure is to seek a deposit (of 200USD) and then work through that amount; billing them at the end of the month for any over-runs.
And that you look forward to working wit them.

Jane...Western Union even encourages people to NOT send or receive money from people you don't know thru Western Union. They are not an escrow service and will not guard your money. Craigs list, ebay, they all warn...don't use Western Union. It's a scam for sure...sorry... Sad

Thanks for the help on this one. I think I'll go with Robert's suggestion. I might as well check it out a bit more.
