The New York Clearing House email below is a scam. The fake email is being used by scammers to trick potential victims into contacting them. If contacted, the scammers will attempt to trick their potential victims into sending money for the promise of receiving millions of dollars in return. But, if the potential victims sent the money, they will not receive the money they were promised and the scammers will disappear.
