This is an open letter to Mr. Warren Buffet, the second richest man in the whole wide world.

 

Dear Mr. Buffet,

I hear you are going to give away 85% of your total wealth which by my rough calculation would be about US 37 billion, to charity. What a generous man you truly are. I am sure this amount will certainly make this world a better place to live in. 

In the process of giving away those billions, I hope you can consider me as one of the recipients. I am THE charitable cause in Malaysia. I am in dire need of funds to allow me to blog everyday witout having to worry  about food on the table. I am in need of funds to pay off my Proton Iswara which I have not paid for 3 months and the Finance Company has threatened to repocessed my car. I am also in default with my house mortgage. Pretty soon they are going to auction off my house. So you see, I am indeed a very needy cause.

I am not a greedy person. Just a paltry, miserable US 1 million will see to all my needs. By ratio of what you are giving away, i think that would be about 100,000,000 to 1. So you see, I am not a very demanding sort of guy. I know what self satisfaction is. I only take what I need. Nothing more.

I also know what gratification is. We chinese have a sying that goes, "If you give me one foot, I will repay with a yard" So, if you will be so generous to give me that million I promise I will:

  • Blog about you every two weeks for the rest of my blogging days.
  • Hang your picture along side that of my ancestors and respect you like as I would respect them.
  • Whenever I having my glass of favourite brew, I will toast to your health first.
  • Say a prayer in your name every morning when I lit up the joss stick to pray to my dead ancestors

So what do you think Mr. Buffet? If you have any questions that you would like me to answer before making your decision, please feel free to e-mail me. I will try my level best to have them answered to your full satisfaction.

I look forward to your favourable reply in the soonest time possible.

 

Yours Sincerely,

Ah Pek
