Don't respond any further, don't do any winding up, just ignore it. We always make a joke of these scam e-mails but although they may seem naive and pathetic, they are usually part of a sophisticated criminal scam ring and have ways of accessing your information that you might not like.

 

tbh, you'd have been better advised not to reply in the first place, but you did, so just minimise any possible damage by not responding any further. That's my advice, fwiw.
