Additional Funds for Love Your Heart Foundation

Hello Mr. Diamond,
I hope your morning on the links has refilled your tanks. Jane showed up this morning with a
new perfume, whew! My allergies are on code red! But I digress ...
Per your request, I wire-transferred $50,000 to account number 92-6937739. As I was doing
that, I stumbled on your memorandum regarding doubling the amount of donations to heart
disease research charities as a company policy for the new year.
Our protocol dictates that you "sign off" on our secure website by entering pin [xz19I0] to
authorize the extra $SOK. I'm providing the details here for your convenience, since I know
you're at the event and might not have it handy.

If you have any trouble entering the code, try lower case first then all caps. If you still have
trouble, email or call me and I will assist you. Once that's done, Abigail will wire-transfer the
extra funds.
Let me know if you need anything else. See you bright and early.
