Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.
This is an example of a typical “advance-fee fraud” message, probably sent to thousands of random people by a scammer in Africa (note the broken English). If you make the mistake of replying, the scammer will tell you that your (non-existent) money is ready to be delivered as soon as you pay “bank fees” or “transfer taxes” or some such thing. If you make the bigger mistake of paying these imaginary fees, the scammer will disappear with your money, never to be heard from again.
