This scam is aimed at former targets of scammers, who may still hope that the inheritance or other money that they corresponded about might, just might, be real. However, this is just another scam. The sender of this email has no money for you either, just more fees to be paid, with nothing in return.
The IP Address 212.100.250.228 may show on some IP-Locator sites as 'UK', perhaps leading some recipients to believe that this email was indeed sent from the UK. In fact, it is the IP address of a UK Proxy Server - which means that the scammer could use this IP address from anywhere in the world!
Likewise, his telephone number of +44 702 402 4604 may look like a normal UK number - but it isn't. It is a 'redirect' number, that could be redirecting to any country.
Please do not respond to emails like this - they are scams.

CONFIDENTIAL / CASH PAYMENT DELIVERY
Attention: Beneficiary;
I Am Mr. George Donald Chairman, Public Accounts Committee, I decided to contact you based on the information we gathered concerning your contract/inheritance funds, which we are still unable to pay you.
After our year 2008 Audit, we discovered through our payment files that your contract/inheritance payment are still unpaid to you and we tried to find out why you have not received your payment up till this moment and we could not find out any good reason why the officials of the bank decided to stop your payment and we also discovered in our files that you have made several payment in order to receive your payment but all to no avail.
We have summoned some past committee members, names not disclose for security purpose and the rest of the directors to be queried why you have not been fully paid after all the time and money you have spent so far and at the end of our query and investigation we discovered that they want to frustrate your effect so that you can abandon your funds for them to divert into their personal account for there personal use.
Based on this we have stopped them from handling any foreign contractors/inheritance payments based on what the law of the country demands, so if you are in any way communicating or dealing with any body or person(s) in regards to your payment, you are now advised to stop and any money you send to any of them is at your own risk.
For the fact that your payment has been delayed for so long with us and you have gone many ways to receive the payment by bank to bank transfer all at to no avail because of the stop order and demands of several certificates and documentations.
We have therefore concluded after our last meeting with the HOUSE OF COMMONS that all the contractors/inheritance beneficiaries will be receiving their overdue payment via Cash Diplomatic Payment Delivery Direct to your country where you will receive your payment.
This is the only way you will receive your payment without stress or more expenses. All the necessary arrangements regarding the delivery of your payment has been put to place only waiting to hear from you as soon as you receive this message today.
As soon as we hear from you we shall disclose to you the amount to be paid to you and how the money is arranged for delivery and the name of the person in charge of delivering the money to you.
After going through this mail, you are required to furnish us with the following information below so to avoid impostors or paying to the wrong person(s)
1. Your full house address:
2. Your identity such as, international passport or driver's license:
3. Your contact cell phone numbers:
4. Your Full Name:
Note: It was mandated by Bitish Government to finalize with your payment on or before next week Wednesday so as to update our payment record before the month runs out. Therefore, you are advice to respond to this message immediately and call me as you read this mail.
Best Regards,
Mr. George Donald,
Chairman ,
Public Accounts Committee,
Central Government's Management of Service Contracts.
