Boy - if this letter does not have all of the marks of a SCAM I will eat my hat! Check our home page for the section called: 'How to quickly spot a scam email' - this one has it all. Different from and reply to addresses, misspellings, wild unbelievable story, from the FBI, advanced payment (of only $95.00) needed, good twists of naming others (most are well respected members of different governments) whose names have been used by scammers in the past.
Simply 'Googling' the Jack Walcot email address below will show that the address has been used frequently for a variety of scams. Same with the name John Hwan Kim and his email address - REMEMBER - GOOGLE AND OTHER GOOD SEARCH ENGINES ARE YOUR FRIENDS - USE THEM
You must love the last 'Note:'
THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THIS IS A SCAM
