Last year, sometime in May I received an email from a person claiming to be Dr Godwin Emefiele, the New Chief Executive Officer CEO of Central Bank Of Nigeria (CBN). He mentioned that I could get 27 million USD! My communication with him is reproduced below. My comments on his email are in red.

Dear Dr Godwin,
Your email is indeed Godsent. I am sorry to write back so late. I was suffering from this bloody virus Coronoa and have receovered now with God's grace.
I have not given any power of attorney to anyone that I am dead. I am alive. He must have known that I was critical and so he went to you. I think he hopped (I can also make spelling mistakes!) that I will be dead soon.
I do not know that man. I hope I am not late is replying. I was not well as you can know.
I would be happy if you can return me my money. Do let me know the ways to do that.
I remain your faithfully
Sanjeev Sharma
I did not receive a reply to this email. However, a new email was received by me sometime later, askimg me if I was Dead or Alive?
