02/21/02 I would like to encourage each and everyone of you to seriously consider the charity described below. 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. More tragic, 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. Almost $700 may not seem like a lot of money to you, but to an Enron exec it could mean the difference between vacationing in Fiji and owning it. It will enable him or her to trade in the year-old Lexus for a new Ferrari without jeopardizing those jealously guarded "retirement" accounts in Switzerland and the Caymans. To you, seven hundred dollars is nothing more than rent, a car note, or a second mortgage payment. Each month, you will receive a complete financial report on the exec you sponsor. Detailed information about his/ her stocks, bonds, 401(k), real estate, and other investment holdings will be mailed to your home. Imagine the joy as you watch your executive's portfolio grow exponentially--and that's just his disclosed assets! 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 people's suffering. Your Enron exec will be told that he/she has a SPECIAL FRIEND who just wants to help in a time of need. Although the exec won't know your name, he or she will be able to make collect calls to your home via a special operator just in case additional funds are needed for unexpected expenses. And there will be those. As poor Mrs. Ley so sincerely reported, her husband somehow managed to misplace over $100 million that he received in just the last 2 years. Stephen King couldn't script a scenario more frightening. I'd write more, but I'm having trouble seeing through my tears. Thank you for your expression of love.
