It's hard to report anything online if all you have is an e-mail address...Just ignore it and put the address on your block list.

sry 2 have 2 tel u, but u cant really "report" this to anyone. mainly because they just send these to huge amounts of ppl like 2,000 and they Hope that at least 1 will be stupid enough to reply. so no one is REALLY targeting u or anything, they r just trying to make money. so i suggest in the future u mite just wanna read it, chuckle to urself, and then delete the mail!

Delete it. Turn off images and links in your email client. Add the sender to your junk list. Set up junk filters. This is, unfortunately, a fact of modern life.
Certainly do not - reply to it, click on any links on it, etc. If you do any such thing, you will verify your email address to the brokers of these lists and you will get 10x as much spam as you currently get.

a lot of these are sent from different countries, where there is a long process of has the law been broken, where was it broken too, the country of origin or the country you're in, should criminal proceedings been taken, which country should it happen in. bYou're best off just deleting it and hoping that no-one else will fall for this

contact your States Attorney General's office, and make a complaint. Save the e-mail so you can send them a copy of it.

FTC.gov (there's a form).
Your state's attorney generals office (and theirs if you can determine it).
Your ISP.
If it involves sending money via mail, the postmaster general at USPS.GOV

Don't bother, just delete it. It will almost certainly have been sent from some obscure third world country.
