Gotta love this email............

Bottom line is that the FBI would be happier to have me send $98 to some lawyer than to arrest me as a terrorist and confiscate all my properties and money.

Anti-Terrorist and Monetary Crimes Division
Federal Bureau of Investigation
FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C.
J. Edgar Hoover Building,
935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20535-0001



Attention: Beneficiary

This is the final warning you will receive from me. This notice has been sent to you several times but you ignored it.

I have warned you so many times and you decided to ignore my e-mails because you believe we have not been instructed to get you arrested, if you fail comply this time around, then we will first of all send a letter to the MAYOR of the city where you reside and also instruct the bank to close your account until you comply with our directives. Note that all your properties will be confiscated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. We would also send a letter to the company/organization where you work and instruct them to issue you a "SACK LETTER" because a suspect is not supposed to be working for the government or any private organization.

From our investigations, we discovered that you were the person that forwarded your identification to internet fraudsters in Nigeria and other countries when they had a deal with you in regards to the transfer of some illegal funds into your bank account which is valued at the sum of $10,500,000.00 only. Your ID which we have in our database has been sent to all the crimes agencies in America for them to upload you in their website as an internet fraudsters and a terrorist (suicide bomber). I will also warn people to stop having any dealing or friendly communication with you anymore. This would have been solved all this while if you have gotten the NECESSARY TRANSFER DOCUMENT ENDORSED AND SEALED legally.

I, ROBERT S. MUELLER III, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) wish to inform you that there is no more time left to waste because you have been given enough grace, therefore you have been mandated to comply immediately you read this e-mail if you don't want to be arrested. As stated earlier, to have the document endorsed and sealed without any delay, you must adhere to this directives to avoid you from blaming yourself at last when we must have arrested and sentenced you to life imprisonment. Note that all your properties will be seized and bank account will be confiscated too.

However, I have decided to see how I can be of help to you because I will not be happy to see you end up in jail and all your properties got confiscated because your information was used to carry out fraudulent transactions. I called the EFCC NIGERIA and they directed me to a qualified attorney who can help you get the process done and when I called the attorney he told me that he will go to the bank and sign the documents on your behalf and put his "SEAL" on those documents at the sum of $98 service fee and I believe this process is cheaper for you. Be informed that I pleaded on your behalf to the board of directors of this agency to give you till 08/25/2013 to make the payment. Bear it in mind that this is the only way that I can be able to help you at this juncture. But if you fail to comply, you will find yourself in a severe field of dilemma.

You need to try as much as you can to send the money today because I have been informed by the ARREST WARRANT ISSUANCE DEPARTMENT that the warrant of arrest has been prepared against you and once is being signed by me as the FBI DIRECTOR, then the arrest will be carried out if you fail to send the money within the given deadline and we shall apply for litigation against you immediately. Thereafter, you will appear before the ADMINISTRATIVE DISTRICT COURT OF WASHINGTON D.C for terrorism, money laundering and drug trafficking charges. I believe you know that it will be a shameful thing to you and your entire family. Also it will be announced and published in all the local channels and newspapers that you are wanted by the FBI. Therefore, you are advised to make the payment for the signing of the documents immediately you read this e-mail. Be warned, we are monitoring you from our satellite.

You will have to make the payment through western union money transfer with the below information then Send the payment details to me as stated below.

NAME: UZOUKWU CLETUS
ADDRESS: LAGOS, NIGERIA
TEXT QUESTION: BETTER
ANSWER: BEST
AMOUNT: $98
SENDER'S FULL NAME:
SENDER'S FULL ADDRESS:
DIRECT PHONE NUMBER:
MTCN:

Do not hesitate to make the payment today with the above outlined information so that the attorney will go to the paying bank and have all the necessary transfer documents endorsed on your behalf as soon as you send the money. After all this process is being carried out, then the transfer of your funds valued at $10,500,000.00 only which should have been transferred to your bank account before legally will now take place legitimately.

Note: As you can see below, all the crimes agencies have been contacted on this regard and we shall trace and arrest you if you disregard or ignore this instructions. You have been given a grace till 08/25/2013 to make the payment for the attorney to endorse the necessary transfer documents on your behalf and put his "SEAL" on it.

Expecting your anticipated co-operation. You can also contact me here. rssmusa@aol.com

Don't they realize that most intelligent people are aware of their scams?

They still get sent out because even the vanishingly small odds of someone getting nailed by it are still cost-effective. You send, say, three million of these emails out, fifty thousand make it past spam filters, and one or two people fall for it, and you've made your costs back and then some.

This is fake? I got the same email from the FBI Director last month. I was so relieved to send the $980.00 and get this off my record. And it's fake? I need to get hold of that Nigerian Bank and make sure those papers got SEALED.
