I got a email from the NSA!

Ermm, right OK...

And here it is.....


National Security Agency (NSA) Headquarters.

(Link removed by me)
Firstly, my name is LTG Keith B. Alexander (Director, National Security Agency). We are contacting you today because we are taking over your Online Safety. We all know that rate of fraudsters and scammers online are so much that we all receive 200 messages per day claiming to be the Federal Bureau of Investigation or a Government Worker in Nigeria. All those stories are lies used by fraudsters to extract money from people.

Right now, we are dealing with the President of Nigeria and the Issuing Bank Of your Fund. With this, we are 100% able to deliver your funds to you without further delays. In-order to deliver your funds to you, we need your Full co-operation, understanding and Mutual Trust.

Therefore, stop further communication with any firm, offices or individual so you can successfully receive your funds. Get back to me as soon as you read this so I can direct and instruct you on how to receive your funds from the legal Issuing Bank.

Director, National Security Agency
Chief, Central Security Service
LTG Keith B. Alexander, USA.

Sounds legit to me. How many Nigerians do you know that are named "Keith"?
