This is a scam email where the scammer has gone to a little more trouble to make it harder for victims to realise it is a scam.
But regardless of how legitimate he tries to look, the basic concept of the email is plain to see;
He is trying to make you believe he has an ATM card that he will send you that is loaded with a large sum of money, once he has led you to believe that, he will begin to discuss the fees that you will need to pay, these fees could be for anyone of countless excuses. each of them lies designed to encourage you to send your money.
Neither the ATM card nor the large sum of money he describes actually exists, its a scam
