FBI Email Scam Spam

I spent time reading spam email for fun because it show funny and stupid the spam emails are even they are spam but they fun to read.
In some cases they are trying to be legit on the spam section e.g. using your real name (how do they know) I can still notice it.
In this one I saw this FBI scam claim to be authentic from the Director of FBI himself but I knew it was a spam. If you read the screenshot the spam email want you to take them seriously.

Mind you I live in the UK so this does not apply to me.
 

Read it an enjoy.
