I'm not sure who to send this to at Gmail to get this shut down and
maybe investigated.  One of our users received a 419 variant known
at the "hit man" scam, in which the sender claims he is a hit man
contracted to kill the recipient, but for a price he will not carry
out the murder.  Full headers are below (with recipient's username
supressed by request).  The user has also reported this to the FBI. 

The message demands that the recipient send a response to
"final.bulletpoint360 at gmail.com".
