Please tell me this is a joke

So I got an email today, which is, in part, pasted in below. (I've omitted any identifying information to protect the guilty.) I don't know this person. I have no idea how she got my email address.

Yes, there actually were pictures. Pictures of the clothed variety, i.e., not porn, showing the woman's face.

It may just be a come on, a way to get access to a lot of Paypal accounts. I doubt it contains spyware, as it made it past 2 different filters. No, I really do think some people feel a sense of entitlement to things like this. "Hey, if they can raise money for this little Sally's bone marrow transplant, maybe I can raise money for my mammoplasty!" Whatever. It just boggles the mind.

I NEED A BOOB JOB!!!
THIS IS NOT A JOKE, I NEED YOUR HELP
I AM 33 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE HAD 3 BABIES IN THE PAST 4 YEARS. MY BREASTS WERE SMALL BUT GREAT BEFORE I NURSED 3 BABIES. NOW THEY ARE DEF[L]ATED.... WE CAN'T AFFORD THE $5000.00 IT WILL COST TO GET THE SURGRY. I AM ASKING FOR JUST $1.00 (OR MORE IF YOU REALLY THINK I NEED NEW BOOBS) FROM EACH PERSON, WHO OUT OF THE KINDNESS OF THEIR HEART, OR WHO JUST WANT TO SEE THE AFTER PICTURES OF MY NEW BOOBS, TO SEND A DONATION:)

And so on and so forth.
