I've modified the scammer's name, and that of the company; his emails are date-stamped. My comments are in bold.

Hello ,
Do you have a moment to chat on email? I have an obligation that I would like you to complete ASAP.

An obligation? Let's see what that means.
Mr Bannon
You need to explain that.

Hello,
Nice to receive your response. We are acquiring a cartoning box packing machine from China and we need a Representative that can handle it from outside Germany. We solicit your assistance due to the fact that we have exhausted our import quota for products from China and the new unfavorable monetary policy which makes money transfer take longer to process from Germany.
It will be easier and quicker if we can get a Representative to handle it from outside Germany and since you are one of our distributors we thought it wise to contact you to be part of this new project.
Kindly let me know if you can handle it so I can send you the details.

I can guess where this is going; Mr Bannon wants a mule. But something in his script needs explaining.
Mr Bannon
I'll deal with the least part first; namely, that I don't know how I could assist you. I've never worked in business; I'm a retired US Marine.
But more important, there's this; "since you are one of our distributors" - with respect, that's not true. I've never worked for Trigan Inc in any capacity.

The reply was prompt; it came in just thirteen minutes later.

Sorry for that I was thinking you are one of my company's distributor.
So how are you doing?
If you are interested in this, kindly get back to me so that we get this sorted out before the end of this week.

Mr Bannon
I'm doing as well as can be expected after two years of earning very little because of the pandemic, thank you for asking.
As for whether I'm interested... I need to know more. Please give the full details of the role of representative, remuneration, and so forth, to that end.
