There's an almost identical email here, just a few name changes. Pick a name, change the email, make a new email account - it's as easy as that.

This long and drawn out waffle could seem intimidating to some, but the spelling mistakes and free email accounts give it away as a poor attempt at pretending to be Interpol. Total rubbish - whatever it all means! I've highlighted the more obvious parts in red. Don't be taken in by waffle like this - no one will arrest you, it's an attempt to panic you into paying.
If you receive an email from an "official" investigative organisation, look for these things:
Spelling mistakes
Free web email accounts (yahoo, live, hotmail, gmail, sify, lawyer, rescueteam, financier...they are all free email domains)
The official sites and corresponding email domains are:

www.fbi.gov
www.interpol.int
www.un.org
It's extremely unlikely that you would ever receive an email from the real organisation unless you approached them first.

ATTENTION ! ATTENTION !! ATTENTION !!!!
FROM THE OFFICE OF THE INVETIGATION DEPARTMENT TO

Attn

There is an operational financial intelligence unit (NFIU) domiciled in IPID positioned to facilitate the exchange of intelligence reports with other Fits around the world unencumbered. The NFIU has powers to collect, analyze and disseminate financial intelligence. The NFIU has deployed a pilot phase of its Information Communications Technology (ICT) infrastructure. It is also establishing its operational procedures and building relationships with relevant authorities: law enforcement agencies (LEAs) and other stakeholders.

The cotonou Benin Republic FIU is the only central national body for the collection, analysis and dissemination of financial data relating to abandon project financing to all stakeholders.

The enforcement of the AML/CFT laws is mainly by the International Police Investigation Department know as (IPID)) in collaboration with other law enforcement agencies (LEAs) and the BENIN Customs Service (BCS). So far, our records have been modest. There are therefore precipitating grounds to remove BENIN from the FATF ‘shame list’ or at least accord it a ‘watch-list’ status at the next FATF Plenary.

I call on the leadership of GIABA to immediately swing into action. There is a lot of work to be done. You are actually behind. It is particularly gratifying that GIABA has come of age. The Authority of the Heads of States and Government of ECOWAS established it far back in 1999. Its Statutes was adopted in 2000. It was however not until January, 2005, its Statutory Officers were appointed. GIABA was initially conceived to eventually cater for the whole of Africa. In the intervening period between 1999 and 2005 several FATF-style regional bodies in Africa have sprung up: MENAFATF, etc. This tells you there has been some delays. It may not have been any fault of yours. But please, carry out your job with a sense of responsibility and urgency.

On this note, I wish to declare the Technical Commission Meeting of GIABA holding in Accra Ghana on the 3rd & 4th of May, 2005, open. I look forward to seeing you again on the 5th May, 2005 (aren't we just a little bit out of date here?). The FATF President, Jean – Louis Fort, has committed to be with us in Accra Ghana on that date.

Consquently therefore, We wish to inform you,with report tabled in our desk by OCEANIC BANK INTL PLC suited in Cotonon Benin Republic about your abandon fund worth of US35.5 Million United States Dollars the contractual fund above all you left your project allow the UNITED NATIONS which governorning the enitire institute in West African Sub Region.
