Awaiting Your Correspondance - Important Business Matter |
 |
Dear American:
I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude.
I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country has had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of 800 billion dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be most profitable to you.
I am working with Mr. Phil Gram, lobbyist for UBS, who will be my replacement as Ministry of the Treasury in January. As a Senator, you may know him as the leader of the American banking deregulation movement in the 1990s. This transactin is 100% safe.
This is a matter of great urgency. We need a blank check. We need the funds as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these funds in the names of our close friends because we are constantly under surveillance. My family lawyer advised me that I should look for a reliable and trustworthy person who will act as a next of kin so the funds can be transferred.
Please reply with all of your bank account, IRA and college fund account numbers and those of your children and grandchildren to wallstreetbailout@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your commission for this transaction. After I receive that information, I will respond with detailed information about safeguards that will be used to protect the funds.
Yours Faithfully Minister of Treasury Paulson
Henry Merritt “Hank” Paulson Jr. is the United States Treasury Secretary and member of the International Monetary Fund Board of Governors. He previously served as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Goldman Sachs.
Hysterical!
The details are so good, ‘transactin’.
The truth of it so dynamite, ‘bank account, IRA and college fund’ with safeguards later.
Too bad it’s not funny.
Perfectly describes the situation!!! I’ve forwarded the link and the text to my friends.
It’s funny because it’s true.
Wow, if ever there was a great cause… this is it. I am so sending them money ASAP.
No one has the balls to call this exactly what it is.
Bernanke and Paulson sat in front of the US Congress
and paraphrased the old strong-arm robbery line,
“Your money or your life(style)”
This is not a bailout.
This is nothing more than the rape of the treasury.
Lol. That is brilliant, yet sad.
the comparativeness between the origin of this satire and the reality occuring is petrifying.
I’ll even throw in my first born child- why not?
IT WAS FUNNIER WHEN IT WAS IN ALL CAPS.
Dittos.
It’s the Nigerian Scam. Who’s to say thieves can’t learn?
This is not a bailout.
This is nothing more than the rape of the treasury.

To my government, do not do this. Just to charge these monsters with a crime, what’s that called, oh yeah, that’s called “impeachment”.
Genius! Just very clever and cutting too. Thanks for a laugh!
Magnificent! Sent to everyone in my address book!
Who does not think that this will CRASH the dollar?
Classic viral fodder!
I attended a National Security discussion with Richard Clarke today ( http://www.motleymoose.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=235 ), and if you want to hear the dangers of this mess to our country, he’s an interesting one to listen to.
thank mike - a beauty! al
Wow this is so funny.
Like anyone would send them blank checks. Idiots much.
Even a caveman could tell this is scam.
I am going to send this to all of my friends.
“I can haz bailout?!”
Great!
Unfortunately the ultimate goal of consolidation will continue, bail-out or not. It’s just that instead of the government (i.e., us) buying the banks, the Morgan and Rockefeller bank dynasties (which run the government anyway) will continue to buy out the “small” banks (like Wachovia!) for next to nothing. We need major change. This was only one attempted step in a much larger plan; they’ll just step back and regroup.
