So does Nigeria have a monopoly on e-mail scams? Does Kenya not have computers or bank wires?

Their politicians and military are just corrupt enough and the country has just enough technology to make it a haven for criminals to keep the scams going.

Kenya has a strong central government and other than election times they don't usually have any revolts or riots.

If Somalia had any kind of infrastructure rest assured they'd put Nigeria to shame.

Urgent Attention

I am special Agent John Edward from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intelligence unit. We have just intercepted and confiscated two (2) trunk boxes at JFK airport in New York, and are on the verge of moving it to our bureau head quarters.

We have scanned the said boxes, and have found it to contain a total sum of USD4.1M and also backup document which bears your name as the receiver of the money contained in the boxes. Investigations carried out on the diplomat which accompanied the boxes into the United States has it that he was to deliver this funds to your residence as your contract/inheritance payment which was due you from the office of Finance Minster of the federal government of Nigeria.

We cross-checked all legal documentation in the boxes, and were about to release the consignment to the diplomat, when we found out that the boxes is lacking one very important documentation which as a result, the boxes have been confiscated until the required document is provided.

According to section 229 subsection 31 of the 1991 constitution on release of unclaimed consignment payment, your consignment lacks funds ownership certificate and for that reason you must contact me for direction on how to procure this certificate, so that your consignment can be legally cleared and okay for delivery to you.

You are required to contact this bureau within 72hours or we would take it that you do not want your consignment, and would move it to the treasury

Also, you must not contact any other bank for any payment, because your payment is here in care of our storage vault team and will be released to you once you follow my directions.

You have been warned

Yours in service

Oh, all caps email from the boss. It just done got serious now!

[Snatch Napkin]

The forgot to capitalize a T in the last paragraph of either letter.

Sounds like it came from the same place.

[Blame Canada]

Since the boxes were escorted by a diplomatic courier, they would therefore be regarded as having diplomatic immunity from search or seizure, as codified in article 27 of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. I think Agent John Edward might lose his job if this starts a diplomatic incidence.
