Unfortunately we do not the full email header for this scam. Fortunately we don't need it. There are more than enough clues to label this one a definite scam. A complete stranger is claiming to have $600K for you but he doesn't even know your name. He also claims to have dealt with you before but still doesn't know your name. This scam email has been sent to many people. I've done a google search on the block of text; "Due to your effort, sincerity, courage and trustworthiness you showed during the course of the transaction" and the results demonstrates that this is part of a standard script. If you receive similar offer simply delete or ignore

Dear Friend,
How are you today? Hope all is well with you and your family? I hope this mail meets you in a perfect condition. You may not understand why this mail came to you. But if you do not remember me, you might have received an email from me in the past regarding a multi-million-dollar business proposal which we never concluded.
I am using this opportunity to inform you that this multi-million-dollar business has been concluded with another person who financed it to a logical conclusion. I thank you for your great effort to our unfinished transfer of fund into your account due to one reason or the other best known to you. But I want to inform you that I have successfully transferred the fund out of the security company to my new partner's account in London that was capable of assisting me in this great venture.
Due to your effort, sincerity, courage and trustworthiness you showed during the course of the transaction I want to compensate you and show my gratitude to you with the sum of $600,000.00. I have left an international certified bank draft for you worth about $600,000.00 cashable anywhere in the world. My dear friend, I will like you to contact my lawyer Mr. Ellis Bryan for the collection of this international certified bank draft. I have authorized him to release the international certified bank draft to you as soon as you contact him regarding this issue.
At the moment, I'm very busy here because of the investment projects which myself my new partner are having at hand. Please I will like you to accept this
token with good faith as this is from the bottom of my heart. Also comply with Mr. Ellis Bryan so that he will send the draft to you without any delay.
