BEWARE : Letter from "Economic and Financial Crime Commission"

Here are the contents of the letter that I received from "Economic and Financial Crime Commission". If you haven't realised already, it is a fake!!

How did I assume it is a fake?? I had a look at the e-mail address. It is registered at live.com. Isn't it suspicious that the EFCC "officer" does not have her own official EFCC id!

Please be wary of such letters and click on the 'Report Spam' button as soon as you read it (for fun of course)!!
