attention Sir/Madam!

I am Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas , a lawyer ,politician and the 7th and current United States Secretary of Homeland Security. This is to notify you of this ATM MasterCard Package worth (US$4,500,000.00) according to its Documents, which was brought here by Mike Perez of the Intelligence Unit of International Police who was assigned to handle issues involving foreign Beneficiaries who are being ripped off each time they try to make claims of their inherited Fund. And this has been happening for years now without being attended to, until now and the Agent stated that this Package belongs to you .

The reason why i am contacting you now is because, as i go through my file, I discover that Kirstjen Nielsen used this opportunity to extort money from you, yet failed to release your fund to you, I felt very disappointed for this, and I keep asking myself, 'why would Kirstjen Nielsen do such a thing, which is very bad. That is why I decided to contact you by myself to help you. Kirstjen Nielsen is no longer on this seat. So, I decided to help you receive your fund as soon as possible. So, get back with your mailing information so that I will help you to receive your funds by registering the ATM MasterCard Package with Courier to bring it to your address immediately. Note that, only what it will cost you is just (US$50) the Courier Service fee, that's all. So, get back urgently to enable us to register the ATM MasterCard for you immediately. contact me at our email: DHS-WASHINGTON-D.C@secretary.net and my number: +1 (304) 370-3243

Regard,
Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas
Secretary, United States Secret Service

The email was sent from the email address ""U.S. Department of Homeland Security" <europeancentralb68@gmail.com>", with the Reply-to address "hs7728527@gmail.com" and the subject "attention Sir/Madam!".

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.
