OFFICIAL LETTER FROM FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION FBI
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FBI FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
FBI.WASHINGTON DC.
Jiminy Christmas, is this the FBI? (It is not.)
Mr James B. Comey
FBI SEEKING TO WIRETAP INTERNET
Uh, is this an email from the FBI incriminating the FBI? Mr. James B. Comey, what say you?
ATTENTION: Beneficairy,
We the Federal Bureau of investigation (FBI)
I can't even.
through our intelligence monitoring network has discovered that the transaction that the bank contacted you previously for was legal.
So wait, hold up. This whole time I've been making fun of spam emails, one of those emails was actually true? Because you, the FBI, are "wiretapping the Internet?" This is wonderful news! For me.
Recently the fund has been legally approved to be paid via United Bank of Africa Nigeria.
Yo that is dope. I usually do my banking at Bank Here and United Bank of United States Arizona, which is a real bank. (Also I bank at Real Bank.) I bank a lot. At banks.
So, we the Federal Bureau of investigation (FBI)
It's almost as if the FBI's incessant claims that they are the FBI are more incriminating than reassuring.
Washington Dc,
But not as incriminating as failing to capitalize the C in Washington DC, which is just cray.
in conjunction with the United Nations (UN) financial department
The United Nations is also involved in my email? GOOD WORK GUYS. I have never had more faith in world processes.
have investigated through our monitoring network noting you that your transaction with the UBA Bank of Nigeria is legal.
Yes! (pumps fist)
You have the legitimate right to complete your transaction to claim your fund $4.7 (four million seven hundred thousand united state dollars) Because of so much scam going on internet.We the Federal Bureau of investigation decided to contact the FedEx Courier Service Company in Lagos,Nigeria for them to give us their procedures on how to sent this money to you without any further complain or delay.
THANK YOU FOR LOOKING OUT FOR MY BEST INTERESTS, FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION. INDEED THERE IS SO MUCH SCAM ON INTERNET.
This is normal FBI protocol, by the way: monitor the spam email of a random, average citizen and then work on that citizen's behalf alongside the Nigerian branch of FedEx to help make that spam email come true. U.S.A! U.S.A.!
We just got an information from the Zenith Bank
Hey, what's one more fake bank to toss into this clustercluck of an email? Besides, I bank at Zenith. They're cool.
and they have loaded your $4.7 (four million seven hundred thousand united state dollars) in ATM MASTER CARD and submit to the FedEx courier service company for immediate delivery to your doorstep.
All of this makes sense. My real bank (Real Bank) doesn't allow me to make online transfers exceeding $8,000 in an entire month, but hey - throw $4.7 million on a debit card for me, thnx. I WILL SWIPE IT TO PURCHASE GOODS.

BTW - I don't see the PIN number in the email. What good is an ATM card with out a PIN?
troy, kudos for inputting those tracking numbers. To answer your question, they put 'em in because they don't think anyone like you will do the legwork. You're a dang HERO. But I have to disagree on the copyediting - they will lose all of their spammy flavor.
I love you both forever.
