Email: westernunionheadofficeinkansas@yahoo.com
The email was sent from the email address "Mr. Paul Larry <ubabankplc99@yahoo.com>", with the Reply-to address "westernunionheadofficeinkansas@yahoo.com" and the subject "YOUR URGENT ATTENTION IS NEEDED".

The email raises a number of red flags that indicate that this is a scam. Firstly, the email was sent from a totally different email address to the one you are asked to reply to and neither address match the sender's name. Secondly, companies do not randomply write to people advising them that they are entitled to large sums of money. Thirdly, the email was sent to multiple recipients using BCC. This is a classic example of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam and 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.
