CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL

Dear Mr. American,

Good day and compliments.

Iam HENRI PAULSON, the Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic ofAmerica, and the personal financial adviser to GEORGE W. BUSH (theeldest son of the former dictator of America, GENERAL GEORGE HUSSEINWALKER BUSH).

This letter will definitely come to you as ahuge surprise, but I implore you to take the time to go through itcarefully as the decision you make will go off a long way to determinethe future and continued existence of the entire members of my country.

Itis with deep sense of purpose and utmost sincerity that I have theprivilege to write you this letter knowing full well how you will feelas regards to receiving a mail from somebody you have not met or seenbefore. There is no need to fear, I got your address from a Wall Streetbusiness directory which lends credence to my humble belief. I alsoassure you of my honesty and trustworthiness. I need to ask you tosupport an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of fundsof great magnitude.

During the last Military Regime here inAmerica, the Government officials set up companies and awardedthemselves contracts which were grossly over-invoiced in variousministries. My country has had great crisis that has caused the needfor large transfer of funds of US$800,000,000,000.00 (eight hundredbillion US dollars) in cash for safe-keeping. If you would assist me inthis transfer, it would be of most profitable for you.

I amworking with the honourable MR. PHIL GRAMM, lobbyist for UBS, who willbe my replacement as Ministry of the Treasury in January. As Senator,you may know him as leader of the American banking deregulationmovement in the 1990s.

This is a matter of great urgence. Weneed a immediate blank cheque. We need the funds as quickly aspossible. We cannot directly transfer these funds in the names of ourclose friends because as civil servants we are constantly undersurveillance by Democratic members of Congress, the media, and theAmerican public. My family lawyer, MR. RICK DAVIS, advised me that Ishould look for a reliable and trustworthy person who will act as anext of kin so the funds can be transferred.

Please note thatthis transaction is 100% safe and we hope to commence the transferlatest seven (7) banking days from the date of the receipt of thefollowing information: all of your bank account, IRA and college fundaccount numbers and those of your children and grandchildren towallstreetbailout@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your commissionfor this transaction. This way we will use your country's name to applyfor payment in your name. After I receive that information, I willrespond with detailed information about safeguards that will be used toprotect the funds. That's all. Let me know what you think about this.

We are looking forward to doing this business with you and solicit your confidentiality in this transaction.

May Allah show you mercy as you do so?

Your faithfully,

Dr. Minister of Treasury Paulson

Bump keys

Peifer Safe & Lock of Memphis, TN recently put out the following warning to their customers. Would they like to sell you some locks and other home security products? Of course! But this is a real home security threat that you might not have been aware of if they didn't put it out there as part of their marketing strategy.

From owner, Glen Peifer:

"We are being proactive in alerting our customers of a lock picking technique that is being broadcast all over the internet. Google search "bump key" and you will find information about how to make these keys and use them. You will even find sites where anyone can buy pre-made sets of bump keys in several common keyways. In my opinion, the risk factor is very high with this technique because it works on a high percentage of locks (residential and commercial) and it only takes a minute to learn. Locks that are especially vulnerable are master-keyed cylinders. Local and National news stations are airing stories on this problem. I want to make my customers aware of this potential threat. You need to know how to safeguard against this technique and what to be aware of. If you want more information or if I can advise you further on the security of your home or business, I will make myself available at your convenience. "
