Attn: Beneficiary,
I am Steven Terner Mnuchin. The New Secretary of the Treasury under
the U.S Department of the Treasury. The executive agency responsible
for promoting economic prosperity and ensuring the financial security
of the United States. However, by virtue of my position as the new
Secretary of the Treasury, I have irrevocably instructed the Federal
Reserve Board to approve your fund release via issuance of a CERTIFIED
CHECK drawn on FEDERAL RESERVE BANK, which is the authourized bank for
your fund release.
However, as a former White House Chief of Staff. Prior to that role,
Lew was the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), I
wish to state categorically that a CERTIFIED CHECK of $6.5Million USD
drawn on Federal Reserve Bank will be issued and sent to you via the
US Postal Service at no cost to you. Every and all cost associated
with the delivery of the CHECK has been pre-paid by the U.S
Government. The only cost associated with your fund release is the
cost of processing a “Fund Clearance Certificate”, which is estimated
to the value of $255.00 USD. The “Fund Clearance Certificate” is
required in accordance with the U.S Monetary Policy; and it is the
ONLY expenses you will incurr before the CHECK will be sent to your
mailing address.

Please get back to me with a quick confirmation of your mailing
addresss.
Yours Sincerely,
Steven Terner Mnuchin
Secretary of the Treasury
