Don't worry about the grammatical errors. The target audience for this kind of scam will not notice them, and most likely will feel quite comfortable with an email that seems to speak their language.
The only thing that matters is the appeal to greed which transcends formal language structure.

"MONITORY CRIMES DIVISION"?
monitory adj. serving as or giving a warning
All you people who are committing crimes by warning other people of things, look out! The FBI has a department specifically going at you!
Thomas Tusser was right. A fool and his money ARE soon parted. I certainly don't condone any sort of fraud, but when people are stupid enough to fall for something like this, I just have to shake my head and sigh.

They've "gone through your identification record" - and the letter is addressed to "Dear Sir/Madam"?? Along with all the flaws already noted by others, and the countless other idiocies not mentioned, it makes me believe there ought to be some kind of "Darwin Award" for poorly-written scam eMails. This may already be a winner...
