<P align=left>Dear NCUA Credit Union Member,</P>
<P align=left>Recently, there have been multiple e-mail fraud attempts, known
as "Phishing", that were initiated via e-mail sent to both the general
public and some credit union members, that appeared to be from NCUA. This false
e-mail asked for the recipient to click on a link to verify their credit union
account registration. If the recipient proceeded to do so, the link directed
them to a false website and asked for their credit union account number and
PIN, along with other personal information.</P>
<P align=left>The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) and US Government
developed a project to protect your bank account and credit card against internet
fraud, but for this we need your help. You just have to register with us. This
