Presidentialspokesperson Johan Budi denied the letters' authenticity as well as the email stated on the letter.
The letter said that the President's working email is jokowiriana@gmail.com.
President or the Palace never issued that letter or anythinglike that. I confirm the letter is fake, Johan said yesterday.
Johan saidJokowi does not have any e-mail account with the addressjokowiriana@gmail.comeither privately and professionally.
President appeals to all people to not easily believe letters sent under thePresident or State Palaces name, Johan continued.

The Palace will take legal steps required towards the e-mail account owner or the creator of the letters, he said.
