Dear Mr. Keenan:

This is wonderful news! I am looking forward to receiving my share of the inheritance. My organization and I can really use this influx of capital. My family & I own and manage a Professional American Football Team in Chicago, IL and need extra capital to compete in this league. It has been 18 years since our last league championship and our fan base is getting eager to win another.

At the start of the season, our outlook was positive, with our first round draft choice, Rex Grossman, leading our team as our quarterback. Unfortunately, he has since been injured, ironically, on a scoring play. So, in order to acquire another player to replace Mr. Grossman, I am planning to use this inheritance to get a top notch quarterback. We are currently looking for Mr. Joe Montana to come out of retirement to lead our team to victory. If he is not interested in returning to the game, maybe we can lure Michael Vick away from the Atlanta Falcons. He has the athleticism and competitiveness that we look for in a "Field General".

Anyway, I am sure our intentions regarding the money do not interest you. I am telling you just because I am so excited about this opportunity you have presented to me and my organization.

Here is the information you requested: Personal Phone number: (847) 295-6600

Personal Fax number: (312) 666-1824

Driver License, National Passport and Work ID (one of them)

Driver's License# H4151-0126-3450 (State of Illinois)

What else do you need from me? Please do not hesitate to contact me. I will try to accommodate any request you may have.
