THE RESPONSE:
Dear Ms.
Gaddafi,
First,
let me start by saying that you have my sincerest condolences for the recent
loss of your father. This is troubling news and I hope you and your family are coping.
Before
we discuss the matter at hand, I beg your indulgence for, you see, I am
somewhat slow on the uptake and, as such, have a few questions.
First, I
am curious. If you don't mind me asking, is "Late" Gaddafi any relation to "Muammar" Gaddafi? The fact that Late
“worked was leader” for 42 years in Tripoli and Muammar was the ruler of Libya,
based in Tripoli seems awfully uncanny to me. Then again, maybe the name
Gaddafi is very common in Libya, like Smith is here in the western world. As I
said, I’m a little slow.
Was your
father an inventor? That is an awesome job! I’m sorry that this NTC AND NETO
thing that he was working on did him in. I guess that would be a hazard of the
job sometimes. I suggest that your people shut down and dismantle his creation.
Lock it away as soon as possible. We don’t want any more deaths at the hands of
this thing. (Just out of curiosity, does it have hands?) Take my advice and do this before it’s too late! We don’t want it
to grow too powerful.
Now, on
to business. Let me just say that I appreciate you wanting to invest the money
in my country, and I am honored that you would choose to contact me to be a
part of this transaction as your foreign partner. However, I must warn you that
you may not have made the wisest choice by selecting me. I do not speak in
authority for my people. In fact, you could say that I am about as low on the
rung of the ladder here as one can get.
I may
not be the best person to be your business caretaker or handle your investments
here. I am on the bottom rung after all. There’s a reason for that. Plus, to be
perfectly honest, if you allow me to broker this deal, I will very likely just
keep the money for myself and not use it for your benefit or the benefit of my
country. Except when I spend it, that is. I guess I may still be doing my part
by stimulating the economy that way.
The
information you say that you “needed” me to furnish you with, is it still
necessary? You did find my email address after all. (I commend you for this, by the way.) I assume that we can
communicate further details just fine this way. Or is it that, in your
anticipation of our impending business relationship you have gone ahead and
started the paperwork. Again, indulge my slowness as I ask this.
Once
again, thank you for selecting me. I hope we can further communicate and find a
way to address both our needs.
I await
your response.
Sincerely
(mostly)
Vinny
