Here is the email and its from the VERY OFFICIAL EMAIL address: agentjohnedwar2@globomail.com

Urgent Attention:
I am special Agent John Edward from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intelligence unit; we have just intercepted (2) trunk boxes at JFK airport New York , we are on the verge of moving them to our bureau head quarters. We started monitoring and checkmating movement of consignments after the killing of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, many people are virtually involve in sponsorship of terrorism knowingly and unknowingly since they participate in unsolicited and security unchecked transactions which sometimes the aftermath effect of unclaimed funds becomes wheel power for terrorist sponsorship.
We have scanned those two trunk boxes and discovered the value is $5.7 Million Dollars and the backup document bears your name as the receiver of the money contained in the boxes and your email address is on the delivery manifest booklet plastered on the two trunk boxes , investigations / interrogation carried out on the diplomat that accompanied the boxes into the united states has it that he was to deliver this funds to your residence as payment which was due to you as unpaid lottery .Our priorities are tactically stated below. Some people have been victimizing over the years but our inception has corrected worst crime situations in and outside American.
Protect the United States and the rest of the world from terrorist attacks (see counter-terrorism);Protect the United States against foreign intelligence operations and espionage (see counter-intelligence); Protect the United States against cyber-based attacks and high-technology crimes (see cyber-warfare); Combat public corruption at all levels;
Protect civil rights; Combat transnational/national criminal organizations and enterprises (see organized crime); Combat major white-collar crime; Combat significant violent crime; Support federal, state, local and international partners;
We checked all legal documents in the boxes, and were about to release the consignments to the diplomat, when we found out that the boxes lack two very important documents Legal Clearance Certificate and Fund Ownership Certificate which as a result, the boxes was kept under security vault until you provide those required compulsory demanded due process documents According to section 229 subsection 31 of the 1991 constitution in tax payment, your consignment lacks proof of ownership certificate and legal clearance certificate from the joint team of the IRS and homeland security, and there for, you must contact us for direction and advise on how to procure the certificates, so that you can be relieved of the charges of evading tax and consignment abandonment which is a punishable offense under section 12 subsection 441 of constitution on tax evasion and unsolicited movement of consignments to any country all over the world.
You are required within the next 72hours to secure those above mentioned certificates or face the legal consequence defined for such delivery infringement, to avoid interrogation and prosecution in the court of law for money laundry and sponsorship of terrorism. We have investigative jurisdiction over every crime both in and outside United States . Also, you must not contact any other bank or persons in Nigeria , the United Kingdom or any part of the world for any payment, because your payment is presently under our custody here in United States of America . Please don’t respond to any FBI message without this security code (FBI/WOR/CMM). We shall direct you on the process of who to contact after extensive investigation.
Yours in service

I know many of you will have some very interesting ideas on what I should do.
I say Praise God and then enjoy your weekend. It’s a scam. They would show up at your door for starters.
Talk radio runs an FBI PSA about this many times throughout the day. The ad says the FBI won’t ever contact you via email. I’d stand by until you get an email from his soup eerier, Mother of All Agents, Howard Dean.
First of all, I would be suspicious of anyone named John Edwards....
Correct. What do you propose doing?
You are required within the next 72hours...
72 Hours? What happened to my 72 virgins?
It’s your Patriotic Duty to supply them with your banking information and pin numbers. Also your DOB, SS# Mothers maiden name and copies of your passport and birth certificate.....
I thought that government correspondence always came through .. GMail?
Wait until you get my age. Checking movements transitions from a curiosity to a necessity...
There are quite a few grammatical errors ....making this email dubious at best. =.=
John Edward(s)................................... Sounds like an honest name, why wouldn’t you trust a name like John Edward(s)? FBI yet, he probably was an attorney too. Another 419 scam to send to the 419 Scam Busters.
That was my first thought exactly!
Also there is this:
many people are virtually involve in sponsorship of terrorism knowingly and unknowingly since they participate in unsolicited and security unchecked transactions which sometimes the aftermath effect of unclaimed funds becomes wheel power for terrorist sponsorship.I don't know about you guys but I neither wnat to knowingly or unknowigly involve in sponsorship of security unchecked transactions of wheel power for terrorist sponsorship!!!
Um FBI doesnt notify by email.
No jest intended. The little smiley face I left behind was an indication that what I was saying should be obvious. If and when I receive this email, it will be sent directly to the FBI and if enough folks do this, perhaps the FBI will take it seriously.
See if they’ll send you a photo of themselves holding a loaf of bread while balancing a fish on their head to prove who they are.
Yeah, like they’re going to email you about a suspicious box containing five million dollars.
From a goofy domain using an odd name.
With really bad grammar.
Riiiiiiiiight.
Methinks Congress should issue a Letter of Marque for you to deal with the sender.
Seriously, that’s what I’d do.
Send me a cashers check for 10 grand before you do anything! ;-)
Dear Agent Edward,
Since you work in Intelligence in the FBI, I’ll make the small assumption that you know where I live. You can deliver that package anywhere between 4-6 pm day after tomorrow. Please be wearing a pink tutu and purple leotards under you football uniform.
Don’t know, just come right in and ignore the ammunition boxes.
You friend,
Barry Soetero

They won’t even go after ‘Rachel’ from ‘Cardmember Services’, they certainly won’t go after some guy in a hut in Nigeria.
