I hope all of you that replied as to this sounding legit were being sarcastic. If the FBI was that interested in a person they sure wouldn't use e-mail as a contact method. It would be a knock at the door with 2 suits on the other side.

It was more a comment on 'style', — the whole letter isn't in any style that the government would use in official correspondence.
You [correctly] further elaborate that the 'style' the FBI, in particular, would use wouldn't be e-mail.

Don’t worry, we’re going to be moving the NSA to N. Korea shortly...

Governor of Washington DC his Excellency Governor Jay Inslee

Not legit!

I know for a fact that Jay Inslee wants to be called "His Heinous."

I’ve gotten that Walmart email in the last few days too. I never clicked on it because I didn’t order anything, plus I heard about that new ransom virus that takes over your PC, so I’ve been extra careful lately.

Thank you for that! It was the best 1/2 hour I spent today (only reading one thread!).

I used to know a counterfeiter who got drunk one night and printed up a $15 bill. The next day he decided to see if it would pass by using it to buy a newspaper. The clerk at the newsstand gave him two sevens as change.

I once scared off a few Nigerian scammers by responding to them thusly:

"It may be of interest to you and your fellow criminals that you've just attempted to defraud a working agent of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Any further communications from you to this email address will result in the immediate launch of cybernetic tracing by this agency's International Computer Fraud Unit, followed by the apprehension and arrest of any and all collaborators by overseas agents of the FBI, assisted by officers of your country's federal police force."

I never heard another thing from the scammers I sent that to.

Dude, I had a scare last night. Christmas Night too, can ya imagine.

Clicked on some link leading to a .blogspot.com site, you’d think a safe place protected by the Google twins’ lobbying connections in Washington and Brussels, I ain’t joking, and the page displayed some warnings, phony FBI claims of me storing on my precious ‘puter photos of nekkid nymphets, that I know for certain I hadn’t stored since April 15 of last year, the IRS deadline, and the threat that I must contact some place, and pay something or other in bitcoins, and in the meantime my browser (Chromex, as it happened) was to be locked, and in fact the browser, I’m not kidding, was in fact locked, whatever I clicked didn’t work, the browser or any of its tabs including this crazy one couldn’t be shut down, the pop up kept returning whatever I did, with its ridiculous warnings, a freaking crippling handicap at the center of the so-called advanced browser technology, we oughta call Daddy Bush’s ADA legislation on ya, how come you allow such things to happen, I’m not kidding here, the administrator of this semi-modern abacus must remain the king, in control like the North Korean Un, sorry Windows, sorry Bill Gates with your overpriced mosquito covers for African savages that the natives use to cover their goats and not the kids as you the naifs intended, because goats, as described in a book sympathetic to you and Melinda, are more valuable than the precious African-American (as you and most US high school student call ‘em) babies there, you idealistic idiots, and only a Ctrl^Alt^Del finally got me out of it, killing the Krommy browser process, and thankfully leaving no signs of permanent damage.

Reminds me of when people would call a person I know who investigates various frauds and complain that they had not received the winnings from the Canadian lottery after paying a fee of some kind.

His first question to these people was, “Did you enter the Canadian lotter?”

After they replied that they had not, he would say, “Then what makes you think you won a Canadian lottery?”

I don’t know about this. “$3.5,000,000” is not the usual way of writing three dollars and fifty cents.

Those are Zimbabwean dollars, the exchange rate is about 1 trillion Zimbabwe to $0.17 USD.

The grammar seems correct for an official correspondence from a Fedgov employee

Of course it would take your average Fedgov employee 2 years to write this
