The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose in the Mountain of Mist. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.
If you're like me (and in many respects, God I hope you're not), you'll agree that one of the finest pieces of music to come from the Final Fantasy series was FFV's Clash on the Big Bridge. This is a perfect piano duet of the song.

Okay. That is the bulk of the text.
First, I do not have a Bank of America account, nor have I ever.
Second, the address this came from was no-replymail@google.com. That's not suspicious at all.
Third, and this is purely speculation, but I don't think one of the biggest banks in the country would have something like "sslencrypt218bit" in a link to it's online banking center.
Fourth, it's not very professional. Phrases like "someone had used your account", "different locations.For" and "The help speeed up" make me sad for todays spammers.
Finally, wouldn't you also think there would be some sort of signature, perhaps the name of a CEO or other name (even a fake one!) to lend it at least a little bit of credibility?
Man, what a lazy attempt at spam.
