I suspect that one is not true, at least not on specifics. I saw the same 'transcript' for the first time several years ago. At that time it was the Nimitz vs Australians. I have heard several versions since.

Subject: Stockholder

Dear Stockholder:
Records on file in this office indicate that you hold stock in the following companies:

American Can
Intermountain Natural Gas
Western Water
Northern Tissue

In view of the current market conditions, we advise you to sit tight on your can; hold your water; and let your gas go. Northern Tissue touched new bottoms today and thousands were wiped clean.

Sincerely yours,
R.U. Dunn
Squatten Leavitt Corp.
