The fake "BNP Paribas Bank International" email below is a scam. Recipients are asked to delete it and should not follow the instructions in it. The fake email is being sent by scammers who are attempting to trick their potential victims into sending them money or personal information. An advance-fee scam is a form of fraud and one of the most common types of confidence trick. The scam typically involves promising the victim a significant share of a large sum of money, in return for a small up-front payment, which the fraudster requires in order to obtain the large sum.

Dear
It is good you have responded on time and I am glad that you can handle this money that I am going to hand over to you, I hope that this money will be a blessing to you and all whom you might choose to share with. As I wrote to you before in my previous email, $3,500,000.00 USD (THREE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLARS) is yours for keep, it would touch my heart to reach out to others far off, not related to me. Please accept this from me as my little contribution to humanity and blessing to others. ATTACHED IS THE POWER OF ATTORNEY AND A LETTER OF RELEASED OF ASSET for your favor which I have prepared.
MAKE SURE TO FILL IN YOUR INFORMATION or you can as well send the document along with your information's to the paying bank as an application for the donation to be sent to your nominated bank account. As I have informed you in my previous email, due to the dementia disease affecting me. my doctor has warned me against the use of electronics, I might not be able to get in touch with you as often as i would like to but i will try as much as possible to write you when i can.
I want you to promise me that you will get in touch with the paying bank and get the money, It is better with you than in the bank. My blessing is with you, enjoy your life. Now, get in touch with the paying bank to disburse the funds to you.
I have also sent a notification email in your favor to them, do try and copy me with your correspondence to the paying bank. Also send me a scan copy of any form of identity to enable me get a better picture of who I'm making the donation to.
Do contact the paying bank immediately with the information's below to discuss the terms of transfer.
