The message with the subject "EMERGENCY" clearly does NOT come from the real Jean-Michel Cusset. This is a well known scam. Someone has hacked Prof Cusset's email and used it to send this fake appeal to addresses in his address book. If you have never received one of these messages before then please consider this a valuable lesson. Such email messages are always fakes.
