This is the type of scam I've received many times over the years. This might look familiar to you as well. I've highlighted the phrases and words hat are common to all of these scams. 
Greetings... I am Paul Matt from Duluth Minnesota, I have been on the lookout for some artworks lately in regards to I and my wife's anniversary which is just around the corner. I came across some of your works which I found quite impressive. You are undoubtedly good at what you do.

With that being said, I would like to purchase some of your works as a surprise gift to my wife in honor of our upcoming wedding anniversary. It would be of help if you could send some pictures of your piece of works, with their respective prices and sizes, which are ready for immediate (or close to immediate) sales. My budget for this is within the price range of $1500 to $5000.

I look forward to reading from you in a view to knowing more about your pieces of inventory. As a matter of importance, I would also like to know if you accept a check as a means of payment.

Paul Matt.

I decided to do  Google search for Paul Matt from Duluth and found Matthew Paul from University of 
Minnesota Duluth. So this scammer found a name and made a change to it and used it to identify himself!
