Source: e-mail received by myself Quite obviously, the note is not from Fidelity and it is fairly apparent. I am not going to note a note of techincal writing problems on display in this note. Also, I find it interesting the asks for all correspondence to be to his private yahoo, but loads a pile of company references into the note.

I would not recommend clicking or responding to the note, this one is destined for my virtual file 13.
