To whom it may concern;

In cooperation with the Department Of Homeland Security, Federal, State and Local Governments your account has been denied insurance from the Federal

Deposit Insurance Corporation due to suspected violations of the Patriot Act. While we have only a limited amount of evidence gathered on your account at

this time it is enough to suspect that currency violations may have occurred in your account and due to this activity we have withdrawn Federal Deposit

Insurance on your account until we verify that your account has not been used in a violation of the Patriot Act.

As a result Department Of Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge has advised the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to suspend all deposit insurance on

your account until such time as we can verify your identity and your account information.

Please verify through our IDVerify below. This information will be checked against a federal government database for identity verification. This only takes

up to a minute and when we have verified your identity you will be notified of said verification and all suspensions of insurance on your account will be

lifted.

Failure to use IDVerify below will cause all insurance for your account to be terminated and all records of your account history will be sent to the

Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington D.C. for analysis and verification. Failure to provide proper identity may also result in a visit from Local,

State or Federal Government or Homeland Security Officials.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
