America Dollar) so that we can pay you upon your proof that really you
are the above named person without any further delay. From this point
of view, I am strongly encouraging you to create an online account
with us which can contain the above-mentioned funds without any
delay/hitch in the course of transferring the funds to you so that we
can as well provide you with full access to help you transfer the fund

and make personal online money transfer to your chosen bank account.

The email is a classic example of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam with promises of a large sum of money being transferred to the victim. Anyone responding to it will be told that there is a fee/tax/insurance payment to be paid to receive the money. This will be followed by payment after payment until the victim runs out of money or realises that they are being scammed.
