Reproduced in full. About the only good thing you can say about this glaringly obvious scam is it’s grammar and spelling are reasonably good.

I once had a desk drawer full of scribbled air mail letters from Nigeria, most written in pencil apparently by young children, offering to swell the contents of my bank account in similar fashion. What this one lacks is the once obligatory “may God bless you and all your family”.
You can’t have everything.

One interesting aspect of this though is the timing.
Less than an hour before this email fell into my spam box I had posted a comment on various social networks about this Estonian ISP and it’s links with cybercriminals.

I just sent the payment via Western Union in your name as I do not have your
account details correctly. I also want you to have the payment information
below:

Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN): 583-859-1945
Amount Sent: $270,000 USD
Text Question: for what
Answer: project

You can go to any Western Union location right now and pick up the cash
quick. I hope that you have a Western Union card / Promo code? You will
need this to collect the funds from any Western Union agent location. I am
already on my way to join my team in completing the unfinished bridge
construction project in estonia. We may leave town tomorrow and I couldn’t
go without dropping the payment information with you. We may spend 2 to 3
months there before the job would be completely finished. Remember that if
you do not claim the money before 9 days, they will call back the money to
my card. And if you do not have the Western Union card / Promo code, you
cannot pick up the cash. I may not be around to reply any of your emails
now, but I will talk to you as soon as I return.

If you do not have a Western Union Promo Code, you have to contact the
western union agent details below as i was told that the agent can
immediately arrange that for you,they will process and create a Western
Union card/Promo Card for you immediately and also send you a copy of the
voucher of the payment that I made upon request, via email.

Contact the office below for your Western Union card:
Contact Person: Anthony William
Email: wumtcardagent@finanzieltduk-uk.com

Send the below details to him
pick the money on time
Your Full Name:
MTCN number: (as above)
Telephone:
Address: (including state and zip code)

As soon as the office gets the above information, they will use the
credentials to create your Western Union card right away without any delay
if you do not have the Western Union card . Note that you will have to
purchase the Western Union Promo code. That is all to it. I hope to talk to
you as soon as we are back on the errand or call it project.
