Good day dear clients,
We are sorry to inform that the fraudulents with the accounts of our bank have recently increased. That is why our bank changes the security system, which will provide maximum security to our clients if the accounts are used by frauds. You will receive a special program to your e-mail this week, as well as the instruction how to use it. With its help you will have an opportunity to make payments. Without this program no one will be able to transfer money from your account. If you lose the program, you will have to pay $4,99 and we will send you the copy of it. To confirm the registration of this anti-fraud program visit this web-site and complete the necessary forms: http://bxs.com/

Sincerely,
Bank Administration

That looks like phishing, which we don't deal with. If your father really has an account with these folks I'd suggest that he forward that email to his banks security folks so that they can take of it.

The program is most likely a keylogger, so you'll want to advise your father not to download or open any attachments from the knuckle-heads.

I found the following a very amusing Freudian slip:
