Hi, I am John Adams of the US Army base in Afghanistan for peace 
keeping. I found your contact in an address journal. I seek your 
assistance to remove some funds as long as I am assured that it will be 
safe in your care until I complete my service here in Afghanistan. This 
is not stolen money and there are no dangers involved in this. this is 
legit and there will be no discomfort. Please this is very important 
and urgent

John Adams

Let's see, what's wrong with this:

  • WTF is an "address journal"
  • Sent via a hijacked Brazilian government account
  • I wonder where "the" US Army Base in Afghanistan is located?
  • "John Adams", really? I wonder if that was an ironic choice.
