Do you suggest I delete his contact and never reply again? I don't think I will be able to inform him about his email being hacked because I don't have a phone number or address.
I feel bad for him as he has explained in the past year that he is very old and his wife has illness. Hopefully he can find out about what has happened to his email account.
His email is being totally controlled by the hacker. Don't reply. He will figure out through phone calls from others that he email has been compromised. Just DON'T reply again.
Everyone in his address book is getting the same email that you have gotten.
