Impersonating a Federal law enforcement officer is indeed a Federal offense. If you forward this to the FBI, include headers.
A google search reveals that a lot of 419 scammers use the globomail domain, enough to assume that anything from such domain is a scammer.

I’d send them a nasty reply. No guts, no glory.

Dear FBI. Please send me my money immediately. I will use it for buying a better spam filter.

Thank you.

That letter seems to be nothing more than a fishing email.Something that should be sent to the FBI.Otherwise I would not respond to it.

If the FBI really wants you they won’t be sending an email.

I know many of you will have some very interesting ideas on what I should do.

That's easy.
Send this guy a book on English grammar, syntax and spelling.

Perhaps a dictionary.

This email makes such a hash of the English language that it is easy to believe that it must be a fake; no bureaucracy would pay anyone so lacking in communications skills anything more than, say, a job at McDonalds.

Oh, by the way, do you routinely send or receive valuable shipments? Or is this a case of identity theft? You might have made a brief statement about the whole thing yourself.

It is a “letter “or email is from a scam artist and is designed to scare the hell out of you...send it on to the FBI for their action...Do not reply to this or the author will know for sure he has a valid email...and if you have bills paid on line or order things with credit cards on line check on that....also call all your credit card companies to see if there is any strange purchases.
We were alerted by our email service that their billing was not accepted and would not be paid..they called us and I in turn called our credit card co only to discover that our cards had been used by some theif in Nigeria...got it all cancelled and new cards..what happened is these creeps get the first numbers on the cards which merely indicate the bank..they then just spin numbers until something hits then they go shopping and you get the bill for stolen goods...

“We have scanned those two trunk boxes “

1. Stay out of my trunks and I won’t beat the **** out of
you.

2. When the FBI want to converse with you they show up at your door.

3. IMHO, delete the email and run your virus program, etc.

best thing to do -

delete the email,

have this post removed,

then remind yourself daily that FReepers don't have to think more than about 15 seconds before deleting garbage like this.

John Edwards? Really? Maybe he thinks your Reille and wants him to play pretend....

If you want to play along you run the risk of Reille showing up at your house tonight at 11:00 pm...

If you ignore...John Edwards will have some serious wounds to lick and his ego could be shattered:=

With IDIOTS like Janet Neopolitano and John Holder in charge, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

Parts of the email sound like they were written in another language and translated with Babelfish.

Look, just go along, get the documents, collect the trunks. After you deposit the $5.7 million, PAY OFF THIS FREEPATHON! I did my part the first week of the thing and I’m tired of that bar on the front page. Thanks for your consideration.
