The email message with the subject: "Signature Required" below, is malicious and was not sent by A.G. Morgan Wealth Management LLC, but instead by cyber-criminals. The email message contains a malicious attachment that will infect your computer with a virus or Trojan horse if you open it. The email message was designed to trick the recipients into believing that a dollar amount contribution was made without their consent and have them curiously open the malicious attachment, thinking they will view a form.
