Dearest Rihanna

No problem at all. Anything I can do to help a celebrity like yourself, it's my duty as an American citizen. If you'd like to give me a call, my number is (202) 324-3000, just ask for REDACTED in Cyber Crimes. It's hard work stopping criminal scams over the internet, a new one pops up every day! Last week we had to bust a guy who was telling people he'd give them an enormous sum of money in return for a $10,000 advance that he needed to open a bank account that had millions in it! Of course, it was never returned to them, nor the millions promised. Criminals are really slick these days, but it's our job to be slicker. But enough about that, I'll set some time aside to talk over the phone with you so we can help you out.

Your pal,

REDACTED
