Very much along the same lines as the last fake, noticed earlier today, this time in the form of a printed communication for BH which came in today's post.
This one did not pretend to be hand written and did not pretend to come from a bosom pal. So far so good. But it did include what I took to be a facsimile signature, that is to say a stored image of the signature in question applied to the bottom of the letter by computer.
In which case, Ms. Morgan seems to have been very lazy about writing her signature in the first place. One might have thought she would take more trouble with a signature being stored for posterity, but I suppose she is too young to have ever had much need to write anything by hand.
So what we seem to have, working from left to right, is three large loops, followed by a small loop, followed by a bold stroke back from right to left - and I quite fail to see what this has to do with the name in question. Perhaps the idea is that a computer printed scrawl of this sort might be mistaken for the actual signature of a very busy and very important executive? Very ego-boosting.
Furthermore, the email address supplied does not appear to have anything to do with the name on the letterhead. Fake all the way through!
PS: this morning (Thursday), I associate to the Great Seal, used to make wax medals with which to authenticate and empower important documents. With the Keeper of the Great Seal once being an important and trusted servant of the King. While today, if you are careless enough to send me a (Microsoft) Word document containing the image of your signature, I can extract that image and use it for my own purposes - although experiment suggests that the image loses quite a few kilobytes in the process. Bearing in mind that attempting to forge the King's Seal probably counted as High Treason.
