Dear Friends,

In clarification of my previous missive, in which I may have cultivated a misunderstanding that I was in possession of any properties of Mr D. T. Oldman: such is not the case. Dr G. has been provided durable power of attorney by the State of Texas to take possession of any of Mr. Oldman's few and widely-scattered personal properties and to execute such financial obligations as may be required.

I hasten to assure you at the outset that I have seen the errors of my ways, and that any and all funds which may have been accrued as a consequence of those actions leading to my rendition have been restored to their rightful owners, and I beg with any good-hearted souls in the world to please, please stop forwarding your personal information to me in hopes of gaining some small portion of the remaining funds from that off-shore casino so recently closed as a consequence of those actions taken by the U.S government. The final disposition of those remaining funds remains a matter of some legal interest but I assure you no longer have any say in the matter, so please, please stop sending by phone, mail, or internet exchange, those bank account and social security numbers.

As I am making a clean breast of it, let me assure you that I had absolutely nothing to do with those recent, quite patently fraudulent, publications or releases by Reginald “Redd” Ruffensor (in association with his brothers Roderick and Leopold), any suggestions to the contrary notwithstanding. I assure you that any use of my name in association with that fraternity of notorious scofflaws was done entirely without my knowledge or consent.

I remain, your humble servant,

Albert Banfill
