“FBI” Informs Me I won the Lotto In Nigeria!

According to an e-mail from the “FBI” and the Anti-Terrorist and Monitory Crimes Division I have won $10,000,000 in Nigeria.   The Central Bank is holding this money for me.  The e-mail goes on to say that the FBI and the Anti-Terrorist and Monitory Crimes Division fully checked into my winnings and all I have to do is send someone in Nigeria $550 and I’ll get my money.

But, wait a minute, if they know that I’m really the winner, how come they don’t know my name, address and my telephone contact number?

Oh, I’m also advised by the “FBI” that I should be careful and not fall into a scam!  Wow, the crook is telling me to watch out for the crook!   The sad part is that these people make millions of dollars every year from Americans.  So remember if it’s to good to be true, it’s not true.   Anyhow here is the le-mail, it’s funny indeed.
