Scammers don't help their plans when they fail to coordinate!
I've changed the scammers' names (in one case, from the name of one famed Hollywood director to one... more notorious); their emails are date-stamped. My comments are in bold.

Chief financial Officer
Standard Chartered bank
1 Basinghall Ave, London EC2V 5DD, United Kingdom,
Tel: REDACTED
Esteemed Compliments,
I anticipate that you read this mail with an open heart and let me know your opinion or willingness on this classified information that I am releasing to you.
I am Mr. Ed Wood, the Group chief financial officer of Standard Chartered Bank. I got your information during my search through the Internet. I am 49 years of age and married with 3 lovely kids. It may interest you to hear that I am a man of PEACE and I don't want trouble. I don't know how you will feel about this, but to be honest with you, the transaction I am going to explain to you is real and you are not going to regret it. I only hope we can assist each other. But if you don't want this business offer kindly forget it as I will not contact you again.
I have packaged a financial transaction that will benefit the both of us. As the chief financial officer of Standard Chartered Bank. It is my duty to send in a financial report at the end of each year. So on the course of the last 2 years end of year report, I discovered that my branch in which I am the financial officer made Twelve Million Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars [$12,850,000.00] which my head office are not aware of and will never be aware of, Nor must they know that I am involved in this transaction. I have since placed this fund on what we call SUSPENSE ACCOUNT without any beneficiary. As an officer of the bank I cannot be directly connected to this money, so this led to my contacting you for us to work in order for you to assist in receiving this money into your bank account for us to share, while you will have 40% of the total fund after the transfer.
Note: There is practically no risk involved, it will be online bank to bank transfer, all I need from you is to stand claim as the original depositor of this fund who made the deposit with our branch so that my Head office can order the transfer to your designated bank account.
If you accept this offer to work with me, I will appreciate it very much. As soon as I receive your kind response, I will give you details on how we can achieve it successfully. Your contact telephone number, full name and address is highly needed for further communication.
Please contact me via this Email for more details:
Best Regards,
Mr. Ed Wood

This business may be real but is it actually legal, given that you wrote "There is practically no risk involved"?

Thank you very much for your response to my offer. Your details are needed. However, I will take responsibility for changing all documents related to the Fund in your name as the recipient of this Fund. By doing so, this transaction is will be legal.
These processes involve obtaining some of the relevant documents that entitle you to the fund. I will now take care of the funding needed to secure these documents, as no one will suspect me at the moment. When I perfect the documentation, I will secretly provide you with detailed information about the banking department that you can contact to obtain this fund. Even though it's my department, I wouldn't want to handle the transaction myself for security reasons.
Finally, all expenses associated with this transaction both on your part or mine will be deducted after you receive the funds before sharing. I also agreed to share this fund 50% - 50%. Kindly get back to me if you agreed to do this with me. Thanks in anticipation.

For my peace of mind, you need to spell out the process and all the steps involved in this deal. It's the habit developed over many years of service in the United States Marine Corps.

Thank you for responding to this offer again. I ask for your willingness or your opinion on the step below and the reason I took them.
Upon successful completion of the change of all documents related to the fund in your name as the correct recipient of this fund. I have also planned for you to receive this fund via online transfer as proposed in my first letter to you, as these are huge amounts and also online bank transfer will give you the opportunity to transfer this fund bit by bit to any account of your choice without any problems.
Remember that my job is as stake in this transaction, because any failure will not only end my work with this bank, but as a result, no other bank will hire me if we fail to perfect and maintain the confidentiality of this transaction.
An online account requires your:
Your passport photo
Account activation / opening fee i.e. the money that will be in the account to make it active before the main fund is credited
Your address and mobile number
Your means of identification.
This is just the requirement you need to complete this transaction. After opening an account in your name and login details will be provided to you after the funds have been credited. Thanks in anticipation.

I opted for online banking for the following reason:
1. Online banking transfer gives both of us access to this fund if you share the password with me.
2. It is less expensive considering the huge amount involve..
3. It gives you the opportunity to this fund to any account of your choice bit by bit.
Remember, this fund is already in your name as the beneficiary but if you prefer Bank to bank transfer and you have account with huge transfer history, its possible but it will cost us money to procure all the transfer documents. I wait to hear your opinion.

All documents needed to perfect this transaction will be procured by Barr. Solomon. I heard that he told you on request, the contact of the attorney will be sent to you. Kindly follow his directive as i am also Monitoring this transaction as well. Thanks and remain blessed.

Direct transfer requires procurement of documents such as clearance and approval certificate, international remittance order etc. It is only requirement and once all documents are secured, your account will be credited immediately. Barr. Solomon handle all legal documents for us and i was told by Mr. Felix that you have contacted him. Have you made the required payment? Update me please.
Mr. Ed Wood
Mr. Ed Wood
At this point some issues in RL distracted me, so I answered them in reverse order.
Mr Wood
I haven't contacted Mr Jones, and I can't have contacted him because you didn't give me his contact details.
So that means Mr Jones is lying to you, and I don't know why he'd do that.
Also, "Have you made the required payment?" What payment?
Regards

You are completely out of the loop. I've had no contact with this Felix guy, so he's told me nothing, which means I can't "Kindly follow his directive".
This is a Charlie Foxtrot and no gorram mistake.
