    This sounds like a scam devised by someone you are contacting in Malaysia. Did someone ask you to send money?

    No, This is a common scam, it is merely a variation of the Ghana scam that is so well known.

    And yes, they often take a few months to get to asking for money. And yes they will have such good looking proof, thanks to photoshop and old laws.
