pyramid scheme. My econ major friend at Michigan said those are illegal.

You make money if more stupid people do it after you. But chances are, you'll be towards the end and just lose your money

The message above doesn't meet the criteria for a pyramid. It's just begging.

It only would if the sender told you to send 100 emails out as well, and promised you $100 in return.

Well, it's not really a traditional pyramid scheme because he's not saying to do the same thing to 100 other people. (though it is kinda implied) It's closer to begging.
