935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20535-0001
ATTENTION: SIR/MADAM,
For your information, we have been authorized by the President Barrack Obama to get everyone who is involved in money laundering and terrorism; this was as a result of what happened by a Nigerian man with reported links to al-Qaida tried to blow up a US airliner with a new type of explosive device Friday before being tackled by passengers in what officials said was an attempted Christmas Day terror.
Now your name has also been included in the list of terrorism and money laundering because you have been taking this matter for granted but now we have started taking our legal action because no one is above the law and we can not allow anyone to bring shame to our country, since you have decided not to cooperate with us by furnishing us with the required certificate, we have therefore forwarded your name and information including your picture to the office of the Presidency as he required and right now he has warned us seriously and ordered that we should get everyone arrested and charge them to court immediately because this is not a childish play.
The best you can do right now is to forward to us the certificate that is FBI Identification Record, Tax Clearance and Diplomatic Immunity Seal Of Transfer (DIST) so that we can forward it to the President and tell him that you earned the fund legally and not a money laundering or for sponsoring terrorism because this is what we are going to charge you of course you know the penalty and our government will not tolerate it any longer. For your information, you have only 3 working days to provide it otherwise you will be arrested immediately and hand your case file over to the presidency.
The ball is in your court, note that the person you will contact that will help you to get the certificate is Barrister David West an attorney from HOMELAND SECURITY SERVICE or the Executive/Chairman of HOMELAND SECURITY SERVICE Mr.Bennie G.Thompson. we are now back and ready to take up this case to any level because we won't seat down and watch foreigners not only citizens to involve in illegal action, especially in money laundering and terrorism act.
Be warned and don’t fail to get back to us immediately otherwise you will hear our knock on your door with hand-cuff, on your return to this message, we are going to confirm the email address of Barrister David West so that you can contact him for the issuance of the certificate as soon as possible.
We look forward to hear from you today.
Thanks for your Co-operation.
Director Mr.Robert Mueller.

Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.

Re: email scam nice one eh
good try, but our f.b.i. does not do business by e-mail, they come and knock on the door. you're right naga, in the u.s. we don't have "solicitors" and "barristers", just "lawyers" and sometines i think too many of them, though i once had a bumper sticker on my car that said "warning-protected by hungry lawyer".

Re: email scam nice one eh
revisiting the scam letter, it is fairly obvious the writer is not an educated english speaker, american, british or indian. his sentence construction is awkward and he has little or no knowledge of the structure of the u.s. federal law enforcement establishment. this is some low rent punk somewhere in, probably, an african country, who thinks he's found a gold mine, but its only "fools gold" as he will learn. our f.b.i. takes a dim view of people misusing their name.

Re: email scam nice one eh
The latest that I got:
Hello,
I am Colonel James Frank, a British soldier attached to the Coalition force in Afghanistan ; I am the Commanding Officer Commando Logistic Regiment Royal Marines.
What I am about to share with you is very confidential. We intercepted a suspected Taliban group in Lashkar Gah in Helmand Province with some cargoes. The gun battle that ensured led to the death of some while others abandoned their cargo and took to their heals.
On a closer examination of the cargos a special consignment containing US$ 18.5 Million( Eighteen Million Five Hundred Thousand) Dollars in cash was discovered by one of my special agents who took me into confidence. I had considered his prayers for the use of this money for charity and the options available for me as the commander of this regiment. In the heat of the moment, such humane decisions cannot easily be taken hence I have decided to secure this money outside of here and with
a distant fellow until I shall have the privilege to be relived of my duty. I have
Therefore, I solicit your assistance to help me receive this money from the Bank Where It has been deposited in Europe and secure this money in an investment until we are through with our service here then I can come to your country.
I have perfected arrangements to ship this money out in two large metallic
Boxes to you using Diplomatic courier.
We are willing to give you 30% while you will keep the remaining in an investment for us until after our assignment here. Can I trust you? If you are interested send to me via this email your confidential Telephone/fax numbers, your contact details for quick communication. This exchange is 100% risk free.
Regards,
Col James Frank

Re: email scam nice one eh
I usually tell em I would consider-for a small token of 10,000USD, in advance.
If the good colonel could get the loot out of the country, why would he need a 2 bit like me to do any more? I should have signed up for logic 101
