David Cameron Offers Me £2M

I am deeply "honoured" to have received a message from David Cameron the Prime Minister.

Seemingly he has £2M that he believes is owed to me and, moreover, his colleague William Hague (the Foreign Secretary) needs my personal details in order for me to receive this money.

George Osborne Writes

I am touched and flattered that "George Osborne" (Chancellor of the Exchequer) has written to me personally,  offering me $16.5M.

However, I am surprised that "Osborne" doesn't know that it is in fact "Her Majesty's Treasury" not "Her Majesty Treasury".

Could it be that this is a scam?

Surely not!
