urgent attention: beneficiary
I am special agent John Edward, representing the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intelligence unit. we have just intercepted and confiscated two (2) trunks at John F Kennedy airport in New York, and are on the verge of moving it to our bureau headquarters.

We have scanned these boxes, and have found them to contain a total sum of $4.1 million and accompanying documents which bears your name as the receiver of this money. The investigation carried out on this diplomat who accompanied these trunks into the united states uncovered that he was to deliver this money to your residence as payment owed to you as payment for a contract, inheritance, lotto, loan, etc.

we cross-checked all legal documentation in the trunks, and were about to release the consignment to the diplomat, when we found out that the trunks are missing two very important documents, which resulted in the confiscation of this money.

According to section 229, subsection 31 of the 1991 constitution in tax payment, your consignment lacks a proof of ownership certificate, and also the legal delivery permit clearance certificate from the joint team of the IRS and homeland security. Therefore, you must contact us for instructions as for procuring the two certificates then you will be cleared of the suspicion of tax evasion. This crime is a punishable offense under section 12, subsection 441 of the IRS tax code.

you are therefore required to get back to me at this email address{agent.john_e0001@superposta.com} within 72hours. i will then guide you on how to get the needed documents. Failure to comply with our directive may lead you into legal trouble as you may be arrested, interrogated and prosecuted in the court of law for money laundering.

We may also get the Financial Action Task Force on money laundering (FATF) involved if you do not follow our instructions. You are also advised not to get in contact with any bank in Africa, Europe or any other institution, as your money is already here in the United States of America, and will be delivered to any country of your choice, once you secure these required documents.

Yours in service

At least they did not type it all in caps. Nothing says serious like all capitol letters.

[Hawkmoon]

It must be legitimate because all FBI agents use @superposta.com for official e-mail. They could never work under cover if they used something like @fbi.gov

[Scout26]

You don't want to run afoul of FATF.

It looks like some of Melvin's finest work.
