Does this look real to you? (letter from Simpson to Bauer re: Rove/Akbar affair)

Supposedly all the allegations about Rove and Akbar stem from letter from Siegelman attorney Jill Simpson to Bob Bauer.
With a little help from Google I found this supposed copy of the lettter:
Note, all three images are found on this site. I have no idea what this site is:

Note Simpson's signature does not look the same in the Affadavit. The capital J is completely different.
This stinks to me of a Rove gimmick/trap. It reminds me of the "c'ya" letter that implicated Bush about skipping National Guard duty and ended up being fake, and brought down a bunch of people from CBS and 60 Minutes.
Knowing Rove, there could be a real letter from Simpson to Bauer, but he put out a fake one to throw everyone off, and then prove it's fake.
I would think at some point Simpson will have to confirm or deny the authenticity of the letter.
Even if it is authentic, there doesn't appear to be any direct evidence about Rove in the letter. It's unclear exactly what she's saying about her blogger friends and how they know Rove and Akbar are connected. No one is coming forward saying they had relations with Rove. Am I missing something or is it just heresay from her unidentified blogger friends?
Anyway I think people should proceed with caution.
