Does the fake formal language make this spam appear to be more honest? Fear not, it's a scam, even thought it reads like a period drama on television. Best I can tell, it originated at a hacked account or open relay at the mfarconstructions.com domain. Don't respond, don't be fooled by messages like this, even if they use words like "hence" and "enquiry."

Dear Honorable beneficiary
Did you authorize one Mr. Louis Henrik who presented document’s of claim purported to have been signed by you for the release of your Payment Beneficiary/Winnings settlement of Eleven Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars ($11.5) only, which have been made and sealed for your transfer? Why this, because the Fund Certificate was credited to you,hence this later development of Mr. Louis Henrik?
Ensure that you do not delay to get back soonest as this calls for urgent and cogent attention to avoid misappropriation, misconception and misconstrue in BARCLAYS BANK beneficiary’s financial transfer record. If you did not give any Power of Attorney or Authorization to the said Mr. Louis Henrik for claim of your fund, please reconfirm immediately to avoid banking irregularities, as your fund is now ready to be transferred (based on the urgent instructions from the Committee of Foreign Contractor Payments Board under the control of the PRIME MINISTER’S office).
In summary to your fund transfer do contact the Barclays Bank for your fund release.
As soon as this information is received, your payment will be made to you in a Certified Bank Draft or Wired to your nominated bank account.
