Right, because the FBI always e-mails you instead of calling or coming to your door when dealing with a serious crime..

In my mind it would be the simple ruse that would get the job done. I couldn't even finish reading that.

When I was young, I was told at a party that someone was director Hoover. Couldn't be sure though, looked more like a very ugly Rosie O'Donell.

Not someone I'd probably follow. The Bank of Tuvalu is much safer for such transanctions free from IRS scrutiny.

Sorry to hear of your death. It does make you eligible to vote Democratic though. At least a few times each election.

I had one similar to that, except it was my sister who died, and they accidentally had the name correct. I forwarded it to her with my condolences at her passing...

I don't think "it's a good thing", when you get a S.T.D. notice.
