this is what a zip folder that i downloaded said

CYBER WIRETAP AND FUNDS RECOVERY DEPARTMENT,
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION FBI.
J.EDGAR HOOVER BUILDING
935 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE,
NW WASHINGTON, D.C
20535-0001, USA.
WEB PAGE: www.fbi.gov

Attn. Beneficiary.

According to the ethics of an office, introduction is always very important on a first contact like this.

I am Mr. James W. McJunkin, Director Anti-Crime Department Unit of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Washington, D.C USA.

This Official Memorandum is to inform you that we discovered that some officials whom work under the United States government have attempted to divert your Funds (US$10,500,000:00) through a back-door channel. We actually discovered this today, through our Secret Agents under the Disciplinary Unit of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) after we apprehended (Mr. Ali Aeraby) a terrorist suspect.

The mentioned suspect was apprehended at the Dulles International Airport early this morning, as he attempted to carry the enormous cash value of US$10,500,000:00 outside the shores of USA. In respect to the money laundering decree of United States, such amount of money can not be moved in cash outside United States because such attempt is a criminal offense and is punishable under the money laundering act of 1982 of United States of America. This decree is a globalize law applicable in most developed countries in order to check-mate terrorism and money laundering.

From our gathered information here in this Unit, we discovered that the said Funds in question actually belongs to you, but it had been purposely delayed because the officials in charge of your Payment are into some sort of irregularities which is totally against the ethics of any Payment institution.

Presently, this said Funds valued US$10,500,000:00 is under the custody of the Paying Bank (First Texas Bank) and I can assure you that your Funds will be released to you without a hitch provided that you are sincere to us in this matter. Also, we require your positive co-operation at every level because we are closely monitoring this very transaction in order to avert the bad eggs in our society of today.

Today dated 30th November 2011, we have instructed the Executive management of First Texas Bank (USA) to Release the said Funds to you as the certified Beneficiary in question, because we have valuable information’s/records to authentify that the said Funds truly belongs to you.

Be that as it may,you are required to provide us with below listed information’s(for official verification)Viaemail: [email protected]

1. First Name, Middle Name and Last Name.
2. Age.
3. Occupation.
4. Marital Status.
5. Direct Telephone/Fax Number.
6. Residential address.

We await your immediate compliance to this official obligation, so that you can be paid by First Texas Bank (USA)

Officially Sealed.

Mr. James W. McJunkin.
Director Anti-Crime Department Unit.
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Washington Dc USA

100% SCAM

Report this to the FBIs IC3 division as it's a federal offense to impersonate a government official

THIS IS A DEFINITE SCAM.

Because obviously the FBI wouldnt send you an email if they had some problems with you. Also as you said, you're not even from America. Don't get any ideas and send them your data!!

Smells like a scam. I wouldn't worry about it. But you might want to be more careful what you download/open. (Or not)
