DIRECTORATE OF INTELLIGENCE

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20535
UNITED STATES.
Attention,
OFFICIAL LETTER FROM THE F.B.I, WASHINGTON D.C
We will like to know how far you have gone with the United Nations, As at yesterday, they told us you are yet to send to them the fee for the documents and this is really slowing the whole process of your case file and am afraid we will have to proceed with the penal course of action against you right away. We have given you more than enough time to get this done, but it seems you are taking this project to be some sort of child’s play and that will get you in trouble.
You will find attached to this message a picture of your 2 consignment boxes intercepted and the Airport and also, the cash when it was being counted during the investigation, this is to prove to you that this is no child’s play of some sort and to that effect, we will no longer entertain any form of unseriousness and foot-dragging from you again.
Once again, find below the email contact of the United Nations office:
UNITED NATIONS
COMPENSATION PAYMENT DEPARTMENT, UK
EMAIL: compensation_payment@united-nations-org.us.ms
This is our last advise to you, send the documentation fee to the United Nations right away to avoid prosecution and confiscation of your fund. We will advise that you adhere strictly to the given instruction in accordance with our protocols of operation, so you don’t end up in jail. We await your urgent response to this instruction !
Yours in service,
JAMES ANGLER

I, Rebecca, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from “Federal Bureau of Investigation F.B.I.; James Angler”:
I said oh really, I couldn’t be that person and that was self explanatory. I keep getting more and more of this BS in my email box. . .it’s ridiculous. I swear if an actual FBI agent wanted me then they’d probably call me! There were pictures attached and everything.
