He wants to trust me with his money and not spend it.

Obviously this is some scam or god knows perhaps computer generated....otherwise mentally retarded!
This is a common junk e-mail scam. Variations of it have been circulating for a few years now. At least once or twice a week, some version of it show up in my junk-mail folder.

What they want to do is get your bank account number, so that they can "deposit this 9 million dollars".

What will REALLY happen is they will clean out your bank account, and you'll never hear from them again.

Just throw it away and don't respond.
