DEAR CONGRESS, PASSAGE OF TARP (TREASURY-SPONSORED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM) BILL URGENTLY NEEDED HAVING CONSULTED WITH MY COLLEAGUES ON WALL STREET AND BASED ON THE INFORMATION GATHERED FROM THE PRESIDENTâS WORKING GROUP ON FINANCIAL MARKETS, I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO REQUEST FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN TRANSFER THE SUM OF $700,000,000,000.00 (SEVEN HUNDRED BILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS). THE ABOVE SUM IS URGENTLY NEEDED TO STABILIZE CREDIT MARKETS AND TO RESTORE CONFIDENCE IN FINANCIAL MARKETS. FAILURE TO PASS THE TARP PROGRAM MAY RESULT IN A DEEP RECESSION. WE ARE NOW READY TO TRANSFER THE FUNDS TO THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT AND THAT IS WHERE THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER COMES IN. IT IS IMPORTANT TO INFORM YOU THAT AS CIVIL SERVANTS, WE ARE FORBIDDEN TO OPERATE SUCH A FUND UNTIL GIVEN SPECIFIC APPROVAL FROM CONGRESS; THAT IS WHY WE REQUIRE YOUR ASSISTANCE BY PASSING THIS BILL. THE TOTAL SUM WILL BE USED AS THE TREASURY SECRETARY SEES FIT AND CANNOT BE APPEALED NOR CAN IT BE REVIEWABLE BY ANY COURT. THE TRANSFER IS RISK FREE ON BOTH SIDES, AS IT HAS PROTECTIONS BUILT IN FOR THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER. I AM THE FORMER CEO OF GOLDMAN SACHS (NYSE:GS) SO YOU CAN TRUST ME WITH OPERATING THE TRAP FUND TO ENSURE ITS SUCCESS. AND I HAVE THE BACKING OF OUR PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH. PLEASE PASS THIS BILL QUICKLY TO PREVENT A SEVER MARKET CRASH! BEST REGARDS, HANK PAULSON SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Obvious fake as no one died after hiding the money. The correct acronym is TRAP (TREASURY-SPONSORED RATHOLE ASSET PISSAWAY).
