THIS IS ONE OF THE MORE PUZZLING SCAM EMAILS I HAVE RECEIVED

​I promise I didn’t make this one up (I don’t think I could if I tried).  This is the entire text: 

​Good Day,

EDGER HOOVER; I work with the Ministry of Finance, and I have seen that several times people tried to divert your funds into their own personal account I mean those you call your partners. Now I write to you in respect of the amount which I have been able to send to you through the Federal Government Diplomat who has arrived in Africa, now I want you to know that the diplomat would deliver the funds which I have package as a diplomatic compensation to you and the amount in the consignment is $6,000.000.00 (Six Million Dollars Only).
