Personally, I waste my time trying to get in business with them by responding and saying that I'll give them $1.00 for every $1,000,000.00 they send me. (sometimes i'm generous and i cut it down to $1,000.00) So it's up to them how much money they want to make.

I have collected various version of the spam letter that usually contains
info on a (nonexistent) "transaction" proposal usually offered by some
African leader (or son, or widow of late colonel/dictator/president). I
call
that the "Nigerian scam".
never thought that someone would have one day worked a Gorge W.Bush-themed
letter like this.
Well done, I envy the author and I also think that a war against Iraq has
probably not much to do with the 9-11 events.
