The E-mail looks genuine to me. The FBI are well known for sending people in Lowestoft letters and emails that are all WRITTEN IN CAPITAL LETTERS.

The spam nowadays seems to be too obvious.

...seeking payment by Western Union to be sent to Nigeria.

What amuses me is when large organisations such as the FBI are so strapped for cash that they cannot afford their own corporate email systems. All their emails come from addresses such as Hotmail, Google or Yahoo.

It does make me angry to think that a small percentage will fall for this and give them the money.
