I just got a really weird email… ___________________________ Wednesday, February 27, 2013 Your Urgent Help Needed Dear Canadian: I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude. I am Secretary of the Treasury of the United States of America. My country has had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of 800 billion dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be most profitable to you. I am working closely with Nancy Pelosi the Minority Leader of the United States House of Representatives and Eric Holder, the 82nd and current Attorney General of the United States and the first African American to hold the position, this transaction is 100% safe. This is a matter of great urgency. We need to move the funds as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these funds in the names of our close friends because we are under constant surveillance. My family lawyer advised me that I should look for a reliable and trustworthy person who will act as agent so the funds can be transferred. Please reply with all of your bank account number, tax information and college fund account numbers and those of your children and grandchildren to fubar@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your commission for this transaction. After I receive that information, I will respond with detailed information about safeguards that will be used to protect the funds. Yours Faithfully William C. Dudley Secretary of the Treasury
