FBI-INVESTIGATOIN

I think I might start a competition for the funniest, most apt or most facetious remark by a reader.  The prize will, of course, be $4m and you will have to pay me an advance security keeping fee of $140.

My avid reader sent me this one, with this comment: “It came to my “noticed” that these clowns are idiots!”

Yes folks, it’s the FBI again.  Telling you once again what a wicked, horrible person you are for entering into illegal transactions with a string of official sounding people.  Paul Smith will help you out though.  But do make sure you are wearing the correct underwear (designer joke there folks).

Unless you are having illegal transactions with all the people mentioned in this email, I suggest you delete it and don’t reply.  They don’t want to send you $800k they want to take money from you by way of fees.

If you are having illegal transactions with all the people mentioned – change your name quickly.
