Permit me to have the honor of introduce myself to you. My name is Barack Hussein Obama, and I am President of the United States of America. My father left me to be raised by my grandmother, who died last year, leaving me an orphan.

You were referred to me by the United States Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Mr. Douglas Shulman as a person of trustedness who may be interested in assisting me to your mutual financial advantage and that of my country.

For the past eight years, my country was ruled by a corrupt and evil man, Mr. George Bush. Mr. Bush spent trillions of dollars for his own purposes, including making war on the peace-loving people of Iraq and Afghanistan. Now that I have taken his position in our government, my colleagues and I at last have an opportunity to help my country stop the war and regain its financial independence.

Because of Mr. Bush's lies, my country is in debt to other countries in the amount of $11,897,265,145,891 at this time. My colleagues and I have a plan to erase this debt and lead our citizens to prosperity once again.

I have the privilege to request for your assistance the transfer of the sum of $789,000,000,000 (seven hundred eighty nine billion United States dollars) into the accounts of you and other generous people such as yourself to stimulate my nation's economy. We ask only a modest amount from you for accounting, processing, administration and transfer fees.

We humbly request a modest good faith deposit of $5717.55 to expedite this money into your account. To make this payment easy for you, we can arrange a low interest loan to be paid by your children and grandchildren.

As you know, as President of the United States of America, I am forbidden to profit personally from gifts and donations. My colleagues are in the same position. Therefore, all of this money is available to you and the other contributors, in equal shares. We will not take any of it. Knowing that it will go to generous people such as yourself is reward enough for us.

As a gesture of our good faith, upon hearing from you, we will immediately send you a check for $600 and, if you are married, a gift of $600 to your wife or husband. If you choose not to participate, you may keep this money and our business will be completed.

If you find this proposal acceptable, we shall require you only to notify your nearest treasury office of your social security number. We will take care of all the details of funds transfer, so there is no risk to you. You will find a list of such offices at the end of this letter.

Because of the nature of this transaction, we request with assurance that you keep this matter in the utmost confidence.

With warmest regards and hope for a bright future for you and your family, I remain sincerely yours,

Barack Hussein Obama, President of the United States of America.
