Dear Beneficiary of the funds,

We have two applicants who came to my office this morning, they are
people from the Florida United States called James Smith and Thomas
Wolfe by name, and am very surprised that these two persons came to me
with a power of attorney claiming to be your business partners. They
demand that we should remove your name from the payment file and
replace it with their name as the rightful owner of the $4. 5 million
because you are seriously sick in the hospital and you don't have any
single hope to survive from the sickness anymore. However, they are
climes that you sent them to claim your money on your behalf and these
two applicants are willing to pay the required fee of $450 they have
also promised to pay even more money so that this fund can be released
to them. But I thank God that I am a God-fearing man who always keeps
his word because I believe that a good name is better than a wealth of
evil. And remember, if we don't hear from you within the next 42
hours, this money will be released to your business partner. No one
will blame me if I give your money to the wrong person. so If you are
in good health, please get back to us and let us know when you will be
able to pay the required fee so that your money can be transferred to
you immediately, as delaying this transaction will not help but only
lead to more anarchy.

Look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.

Yours Sincerely.
John c. William
Director, Client/Customer Relations, Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

The email was sent from the email address "federalresbank88@gmail.com", with the Reply-to address "frbonlinepayoffice189@gmail.com" and the subject "Re: please feel free to contact us immediately you will receive this message".

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.
