I guess my main reason for posting this is so you guys can get a good laugh. See if you can see what made me think it was fake. I also posted to alert you guys to fake bank emails like this, incase you didn't already know about them, and well if you did and hadn't yet seen one well there you go! Oh and my last name is Lee so one thing is right about the above letter. O and he did give me an email adress but I changed it on the post.
