Let's look at his email content (I copied and pasted exactly the same content, font color & size) below:
Subject: CAN YOU WORK WITH ME

What do you think?
First of all, I found a lot of typos in his email and the content looks really unprofessional. It seems like this fellow has a lot to improve.
Secondly, this tactic is totally obsolete. But this fellow is still trying his luck, by changing from one story to another.
Thirdly, this email is attention to Sir / Madam, and TO: is left empty. This fellow doesn't know who to send to. So it should be a mass mailing to try his luck.
Fourthly, it mentioned he is the MD of IMF, Rodrigo Rato. Okay, have a check at IMF MD list, the latest MD is Christine Lagarde. Rodrigo is retired since year 2007!

Finally, I found out if I decided to reply to work together, it is replying to a GMAIL instead of the original email.

Yes, it is another usual spam email. But it's having fun to find out what can be improved.
