I still have confidence it's coming though.
Yes, don't loose confidence !

No, had nothing to do with the computer or email, arrived in the mail and I simply wondered if others in other villages here received the same mailing. Looked up the address (where the person was to send a replay IF they wanted) and it was quite a nice home, 3-4 car garage, nice suburb.... got the name of the owners but wonder.... do they have a son named "Joey" who is not a teacher at all but may just BE in 4th grade (letter was composed much like a 4th grader would write) and sending out this "experiment" ..... curious but certainly not going to "bite", but wondered in anyone else here got one of these ?

Per Google Street View, the house is in a very nice area... I'd say, it's a scam.
