Plea for the Poor (executives) |
A plea for the truly needy:
We received this note via the InterNet,
and feel compelled to share it. How you respond is up to you.
Dear Concerned Friends,
Now that the holiday season has passed, please look into your heart to
help those in need. Enron executives in our very own country are living
at or just below the seven-figure salary level . right here in the land
of plenty. And, as if that weren't bad enough, they will be deprived of
it as a result of the bankruptcy and current SEC investigation. But now,
you can help!
For only $20,835 a month, about $694.50 a day (that's
less than the cost of a large screen projection TV) you can help an
Enron executive remain economically viable during his time of need. This
contribution by no means solves the problem, as it barely covers their
per diem, . but it's a start!
Almost $700 may not seem like a lot of money to you,
but to an Enron exec. it could mean the difference between a vacation
spent sucking ass in DC, golfing in Florida or a Mediterranean cruise.
For you, seven hundred dollars is nothing more than
rent, a car note or mortgage payments. But to an Enron exec $700 will
almost replace his per diem. Your commitment of less than $700 a day
will enable an Enron exec to buy that home, entertainment center, trade
in the year old Lexus for a new Ferrari, or enjoy a weekend in Rio.
HOW WILL I KNOW I'M HELPING?
Each month, you will receive a complete financial
report on the exec you sponsor. Detailed information about his stocks,
bonds, 401(k), real estate, and other investment holdings will be mailed
to your home. You'll also get information on how he plans to invest his
golden parachute. Imagine the joy as you watch your executive's
portfolio double or triple!
Plus upon signing up for this program, you will
receive a photo of the exec (unsigned, for a signed photo please include
an additional $50.00). Put the photo on your refrigerator to remind you
of other peoples' suffering.
HOW WILL HE KNOW I'M HELPING?
Your Enron exec will be told that he has a SPECIAL
FRIEND who just wants to help in a time of need. Although the exec won't
know your name, he will be able to make collect calls to your home via a
special operator just in case additional funds are needed for unexpected
expenses.
YES, I WANT TO HELP!
I would like to sponsor an Enron executive. My
preference is checked below:
[ ] Mid level Manager
[ ] Director
[ ] Vice President (Higher cost; please specify which
department)
[ ] President (Even higher cost; please specify which
department)
[ ] CEO (Contribution: Average Enron janitor monthly
salary x 700)
[ ] Entire Company
[ ] I'll sponsor an Exec most in need. Please select
one for me.
