ALERT TO THE PUBLIC regarding emails falsely claiming to be from the FBI:
Perpetrators of Nigerian-style financial frauds are sending emails and letters to the public that falsely identify themselves as originating from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). In some instances, the senders falsely identify themselves as FBI Agents and request the recipient’s personal and financial information. Do not respond to these requests; they are entirely fraudulent. If you receive such an email, please file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at www.ic3.gov. Your information will assist us in locating the individuals perpetrating these fraud schemes. You are also welcome to contact your local FBI office with questions regarding the authenticity of any correspondence claiming to be from the FBI.

If its too good to be true - it usually is. The FBI does not cooperate with foreign governments to remit payments to anyone. I received this in my e-mail in-box. The variations on the "advance payment" fee scam are impressive... human greed and the desire for huge wealth is enough to get people hooked.
