Every now and then I recieve strange emails from various persons who tell the same story about someone passed away, left tons of money on some african
bank account and family member now looks for a person who is willing to accept a money transfer and keep a percentage of that money.
I laugh about them emails, read and delete them. However I have recieved the following email now, note the email address as it does seem
'official':

Attention:
This is to officially inform you that a foreign bank from West Africa have transferred funds worth Millions of United States Dollars with your name as
the beneficiary. This foreign bank knows that they do not have enough facilities to effect this payment from their location to your account and
therefore they used what is known as Secret Diplomatic Transit Payment (S.T.D.P) to do this transfer and they are currently awaiting a confirmation
from you for final crediting to your account. Secret diplomatic payments are not made unless the funds are related to terrorist activities, so if you
are not intending to finance terrorism and your transaction is legitimate, why then did you agree to receive these funds through this means that was
used instead of a direct transfer to your account?
Our findings shows that this method of transfer was used in the past to finance terrorist acts, so there is need to correct this problem now to avoid
you getting into trouble when the funds reflects in your account. Under the United Nations monetary rules it is our duty as a world wide commission to
correct this little problem before this fund will be credited into your personal account. Due to the increased difficulty and security measures set up
by the United States for the transfer of funds from foreign banks, the FBI foreign bank commission have stopped the transfer on its way to debit your
reserve account and pay you through a secured diplomatic transit account (s.d.t.a) We govern and oversee funds transfer for the World Bank and the
rest of the world.
We have decided to contact you directly to acquire the proper Verifications and proof from you in order to ensure that the money you are about to
receive is clean and legal . The funds are right here in United State in your name, but the bank has been instructed not to release the funds to
anybody until we have finalized our investigations. Note that the funds will not be credited into your personal account until the needed document is
provided.
Your duty is to proof to us that the funds you are about to receive is a clean and the only way to proof that is by sending us this Diplomatic
Immunity Seal Of Transfer(DIST). You are to forward this document to us immediately if you have it in your possession, if you don't have it let us
know so that we will direct you to where you will obtain it so that your funds can be released. This document is to be issued to you from the location
of the foreign bank to effect your funds transfer.
The Diplomatic Immunity Seal Of Transfer (DIST) often referred to as a Criminal History Record or Rap Sheet, is a listing of certain information taken
from fingerprint submissions retained by the FBI in connection with arrests and, in some instances, federal employment, naturalization, or military
service. This Condition is Valid until 3 days after which the funds shall be confiscated and legal action will be taken against you.Guarantee: Funds
will be released upon confirmation of the DIST document.

Final Instruction;
1. Credit payment instruction: irrevocable credit guarantee.
2. Beneficiary has full power when validation is cleared.
3. Beneficiaries bank in can only release funds.
4. Upon confirmation from the world bank / united nations.

welfare and security of Society while recognizing the importance of individual privacy rights. If you fail to provide the Document to us, we will
