Why is this a loan scam?

It was sent from a totally different email address to the one that you are asked to reply to.
The email addresses used are both free Gmail addresses.
The email was mass-mailed to many recipients using BCC
The email gives no indication of who is offering the loan, where they are based or who they are regulated by.
The phrase “legitimate loan lender” is one that no real lender would use – they have no need to reassure people that they are legitimate.
The ridiculous upper amount of loan being offered.
