ear Kidder,
 Thanks for your mail and how are you today?,Actually, you do not need  a Social Security number to complete this transaction, anybody asking you to provide a social security number must be a criminal, be ware of them and do not let them distract your focuss.

I implore all Americans to follow his advice.. :) Don't give it to ANYONE! Not even the IRS or your employer or all that kind of people. They must be criminals!
