I can’t count that high ;-)
You should send it to the Secret Service - because they are actively investigating these types of money scams.
Seriously ..!!
If they have a local office where you live, just look up the address and send it to them.
I wonder what they would do if you offered to “sell” them the right to your “winnings” for a few thousand? LOL.... Scam the scammers...
There may be a speck of truth here. The dork mentions the “Us” Government although I do prefer the “Me” Government.
I liked “Money Laundry Division” instead of money laundering. I guess they clean up the soiled bills ;)
No such thing.
A while ago, I tried messing with the author of one of these and he accused me of being a Bush-loving infidel.
IT’S OBAMA MONEY!!!
WARNING: Failure to produce the above requirement in the next 48 hours, legal action will be taken immediately by arresting and detaining you, justificated and if found guilty, you will be jailed. As terrorism, drug trafficking and money laundering is a serious problem in our community today.

lol...reminds me of you-know-who
Crap - I thought I was in the money...
I am special agent Brian D. Lamkin: from the intelligence Unit of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). We just intercepted/confiscated two (2) Trunk Boxes at the Hart field Jackson International Airport in Atlanta Georgia. We are on the verge of moving this consignment to the bureau headquarters. However, we scanned the said boxes and found out that it contained a total of USD$4.1M and some back up documents which bears your name as the owner of the funds. Investigation carried out on the Diplomat who accompanied these boxes into the United States, revealed that he was to make the delivery of the funds to your residence as these funds are entitled to you. being Contact/Inheritance over due payments. The funds were from the office of the Ministry of Finance, Federal Government of Nigeria.
Furthermore, after cross checking all the legal documents we found in the boxes backing you up as the beneficiary of the funds, it became known to us that one of the documents is missing. This document is very important and until we get the document, the boxes will be temporarily confiscated pending when you will provide it. The much needed document will protect you from going against the US Patriot Act Section 314a and Section 314b. This delivery will be tagged A Diplomatic Transit Payment (S.T.D.P) once you get the document.
You are therefore required to get back to me within 72 hours so i will guide you on how to get the much needed document, Failure to comply to this directives may lead to the permanent confiscation of the funds and possible arrest. We may also get the Financial Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF) involved if do not follow our instructions. You are also advised not to get in contact with any Bank of Africa, Europe or any other institution, as yours funds are here now in the United States of America. Yours faithfully, AGENT BRIAN D. LAMKIN SPECIAL: AGENT IN CHARGE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION INTELLIGENCE FIELD UNIT 2y635 CENTURY PARKWAY N.E., SUITE 400 ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30345 USA

Do these idiots really think the FBI is going to email me. Dumbazzes.
You are dumping email SPAM onto FR because?
=8-)
Ooops...I said “guy”...sorry tribalprincess.
You should respond favorably at once and follow instructions exactly. A golden opportunity like this does not come via email more than 2 or 3 times a week.
No prob DJlaysitup
Posting scams isn’t forbidden here as far I as know. Don’t know why that would get someone’s panties in a wad—unless they are one. A-hum
We need to expose scam. There are old people and maybe young that get stiffed every day. Nothing I hate worse then a email scam. I take screen shots and file all I get.
