New official viral marketing correspondence on April 18, 2008 from Jim Gordon for 'The Dark Knight'

At 4:04 p.m. on April 18, 2008, I received the following official e-mail correspondence from “The Dark Knight” viral marketing. The message came from Jim Gordon at jim.gordon@gpdmcu.com.

My friend,

Indictments are about to be handed down. If you don’t want your name on one, we’ll need your full cooperation in an upcoming operation.

In case you haven’t heard, we are struggling with a bit of corruption in the department. I’m not about to let the Gotham PD collapse in on itself, so we’re taking action. We’ve identified a group of offenders that need to be apprehended. Problem is, most of these cops are hightailing it out of the city. But a C.I. just like you just gave us some information on their last known whereabouts. Now all we need is to catch them. This is where you come in.

Consider yourself on deck. I’ll contact you next week, and let’s just say it’s in your best interest to play along. County’s not a place you want to spend the rest of your life.

Lt. Jim Gordon, MCU
