The Email contained an excessively large subject. For aesthethic reasons we have truncated the message in the title and reproduce the full subject below.

We found that you have an unclaimed compensation payment that was suppose to be remitted to you, maybe due to some unforeseen circumstance that allow you to finish your transactions home or abroad, so I took it upon myself to get in touch with you before it will be forfeited as you still have the chance to claim your funds. Get back to me for more details. Please endeavor to quote your Payment REF Number: BDA/01/034/561/56D. Tao Zhang Deputy Managing Director International Monetary Fund.
