This is a classic “rich orphan” scam. The improbably named “Gifty Younes” has discovered that her dead parents have left her a fortune in a bank in Burkina Faso, and she needs your help in getting it to safety. Sounds plausible, doesn’t it? I’m sure that handling million dollar transactions with banks in Africa is something you do every day!
