Hi there,

My advise is that you should get a computer forensic
company to do it for you. Usually the person who wrote
that email are "well prepared". You might not be able
to trace him/her so easily. A computer forensic
company will know what to do and will provide you a
firm answer with evidence that can stand in the court.

Best Regards,
Derek
