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.

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

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.
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.

Wow, world famous psychic to FBI special agent?
I was wondering when Barry was gonna start sending us our share of the stash money....hope mine comes tomorrow...need to pick up a couple more AR-15’s.
Run it past “Snopes”
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:=
Charge him $300 for a haircut?
With IDIOTS like Janet Neopolitano and John Holder in charge, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
Tell them Barrack Obama sent it to you.
Parts of the email sound like they were written in another language and translated with Babelfish.
But, he is from the FBI! What could POSSIBLY go wrong?
The FBI and the IRS never do email. Period.
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.
