John Williams (Prize Director) End of letter.
The check is from Guy Carpenter. Searched that name and they seem to be mainly a reassurance company.
Bottom right of check is an illegible signature. Below sinature it reads;
CitiBank Delaware
One Penn's Way
New Castle, De 19720
I know this HAS to be a scam. I am just not sure of its mechanics. If anyone else has written in, deposited the check. (i have money in my account to coverit. Cash it and re-deposit it.) check appears legitimate. But my gut feeling is I will owe citbank De. $2500.00 plus an unbelievably high interest rate.
Please let me know as soon as you can what is going on before the 29th of this month, next tuesday.
Thank you for your assistance and information you have already gathered or can find.
