IMMEDIATE ATTENTION NEEDED:

HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL

FROM: GEORGE WALKER BUSH
DEAR SIR / MADAM,

I AM GEORGE WALKER BUSH, SON OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH, AND CURRENTLY SERVING AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THIS LETTER MIGHT SURPRISE YOU BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT MET NEITHER IN PERSON NOR BY CORRESPONDENCE. I CAME TO KNOW OF YOU IN MY SEARCH FOR A RELIABLE AND REPUTABLE PERSON TO HANDLE A VERY CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS TRANSACTION, WHICH INVOLVES THE TRANSFER OF A HUGE SUM OF MONEY TO AN ACCOUNT REQUIRING MAXIMUM CONFIDENCE.

I AM WRITING YOU IN ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE PRIMARILY TO SEEK YOUR ASSISTANCE IN ACQUIRING OIL FUNDS THAT ARE PRESENTLY TRAPPED IN THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ. MY PARTNERS AND I SOLICIT YOUR ASSISTANCE IN COMPLETING A TRANSACTION BEGUN BY MY FATHER, WHO HAS LONG BEEN ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN THE EXTRACTION OF PETROLEUM IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND BRAVELY SERVED HIS COUNTRY AS DIRECTOR OF THE UNITED STATES CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY.

IN THE DECADE OF THE NINETEEN-EIGHTIES, MY FATHER, THEN VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, SOUGHT TO WORK WITH THE GOOD OFFICES OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ TO REGAIN LOST OIL REVENUE SOURCES IN THE NEIGHBORING ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN. THIS UNSUCCESSFUL VENTURE WAS SOON FOLLOWED BY A FALLING OUT WITH HIS IRAQI PARTNER, WHO SOUGHT TO ACQUIRE ADDITIONAL OIL REVENUE SOURCES IN THE NEIGHBORING EMIRATE OF KUWAIT, A WHOLLY- OWNED U.S.-BRITISH SUBSIDIARY.

MY FATHER RE-SECURED THE PETROLEUM ASSETS OF KUWAIT IN 1991 AT A COST OF SIXTY-ONE BILLION U.S. DOLLARS ($61,000,000,000). OUT OF THAT COST.

THIRTY-SIX BILLION DOLLARS ($36,000,000,000) WERE SUPPLIED BY HIS PARTNERS IN THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA AND OTHER PERSIAN GULF MONARCHIES, AND SIXTEEN BILLION DOLLARS ($16,000,000,000) BY GERMAN AND JAPANESE PARTNERS.

BUT MY FATHER'S FORMER IRAQI BUSINESS PARTNER REMAINED IN CONTROL OF THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ AND ITS PETROLEUM RESERVES.

MY FAMILY IS CALLING FOR YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE IN FUNDING THE REMOVAL OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ AND ACQUIRING THE PETROLEUM ASSETS OF HIS COUNTRY, AS COMPENSATION FOR THE COSTS OF REMOVING HIM FROM POWER.

UNFORTUNATELY, OUR PARTNERS FROM 1991 ARE NOT WILLING TO SHOULDER THE BURDEN OF THIS NEW VENTURE, WHICH IN ITS UPCOMING PHASE MAY COST THE SUM OF 100 BILLION TO 200 BILLION DOLLARS ($100,000,000,000 - $200,000,000,000), BOTH IN THE INITIAL ACQUISITION AND IN LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT.

WITHOUT THE FUNDS FROM OUR 1991 PARTNERS, WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ACQUIRE THE OIL REVENUE TRAPPED WITHIN IRAQ. THAT IS WHY MY FAMILY AND OUR COLLEAGUES ARE URGENTLY SEEKING YOUR GRACIOUS ASSISTANCE. OUR DISTINGUISHED COLLEAGUES IN THIS BUSINESS TRANSACTION INCLUDE THE SITTING VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, RICHARD CHENEY, WHO IS AN ORIGINAL PARTNER IN THE IRAQ VENTURE AND FORMER HEAD OF THE ALLIBURTON OIL COMPANY, AND CONDOLEEZA RICE, WHOSE PROFESSIONAL DEDICATION TO THE VENTURE WAS DEMONSTRATED IN THE NAMING OF A CHEVRON OIL TANKER AFTER HER.

I WOULD BESEECH YOU TO TRANSFER A SUM EQUALING TEN TO TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT (10-25 %) OF YOUR YEARLY INCOME TO OUR ACCOUNT TO AID IN THIS IMPORTANT VENTURE. THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL FUNCTION AS OUR TRUSTED INTERMEDIARY. I PROPOSE THAT YOU MAKE THIS TRANSFER BEFORE THE FIFTEENTH (15TH) OF THE MONTH OF APRIL.

I KNOW THAT A TRANSACTION OF THIS MAGNITUDE WOULD MAKE ANYONE APPREHENSIVE AND WORRIED. BUT I AM ASSURING YOU THAT ALL WILL BE WELL AT THE END OF THE DAY. A BOLD STEP TAKEN SHALL NOT BE REGRETTED, I ASSURE YOU. PLEASE DO BE INFORMED THAT THIS BUSINESS TRANSACTION IS 100% LEGAL. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO CO-OPERATE IN THIS TRANSACTION, PLEASE CONTACT OUR INTERMEDIARY REPRESENTATIVES TO FURTHER DISCUSS THE MATTER.

I PRAY THAT YOU UNDERSTAND OUR PLIGHT. MY FAMILY AND OUR COLLEAGUES WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL. PLEASE REPLY IN STRICT CONFIDENCE TO THE CONTACT NUMBERS BELOW.

SINCERELY WITH WARM REGARDS,

GEORGE WALKER BUSH

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">No. US income tax is 16% plus another 28% to 40%.

The 16% is Social Security & Medicare taxes. You pay half and your employer pays half.

The 28% to 40% is basic income tax. The percentage climbs as your income climbs.
On top of the income tax whenever we spend money we pay a Sales tax which varies from state to state (and is 6% here in New Jersey).
Then there are a myriad of other taxes for everything from telephone calls to alcohol.

It's all very taxing!

LOL, I am laughing SO hard.

I get a couple of similar emails every darned day!

Someone somewhere MUST be giving those guys money, or they wouldn't bother to keep sending these things out right?

So Artar, are you claiming authorship of this version?

You know the best part? The white house is probably getting calls in regards to this! The phone number is valid.


United States Government
2/7


Executive Mansion
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington, DC 20001
202-456-1414

That is a reversse lookup by phone number, and whitepages.com recognized it so it is valid.

President's "whine" inspired Nigerian 419 spoof
By Andrew Orlowski in San Francisco
Posted: 29/01/2003 at 01:07 GMT

We wondered who could be the author of the witty Nigerian spam scam parody.

It features the "SON OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH", who solicits a transfer of funds which can be yours if you lodge a deposit via the "INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE OF AMERICA" by "THE FIFTEENTH(15TH) OF APRIL".

(For our overseas readers, that's tax return day).

Step forward, Professor Zoltan Grossman, Assistant Professor of Geography at the University of Wisconsin, and a veteran environment and peace campaigner.

Grossman debuted the spoof on the Madison Indymedia board a a week ago.

What in particular inspired the connection, we asked?

"I had actually toyed with the idea last year during the Enron scandal," Grossman told us. "But it didn't quite work."

"His tone of desperate whininess around Iraq sounded so much like a scam letter that I couldn't pass it up this time."

Advance Fee fraud, as it's known, is an old scam predates the commercial use of the Internet. (The name 419 refers to the section of Nigerian criminal code.) Sending solicitations by email to strangers might seem a desperate form of the con, but an accountant for a Michigan law firm actually fell for it, embezzling $2.1 million of the law firm's money as a deposit.®

You thimnk you're payimng for it... England is the only partner in this venture thats sending troops, at a cost of £100000's to us. Its all about petrol, oil, etc...what about the 86% of the price of petrol that goes to HM Government?
No wonder someone has discovered that he can run his lorry off used chip frying oil! Yes folks, the future of oil isn't in Iraq, but down at your local chippie! As the cod stocks dissappear from our seas, chippies will make thier income by running clandestine filling stations at the rear of thier premises!

Its about those drivers in Wales who were arrested for running their cars on chip oil. Rip off Britain eh?.
I saw an interview with a US army officer on TV a few weeks back. He said the real reason why were going into Iraq is to stop Saddam attacking Israel in X-number of years as apparently Israel is the only thing that gets in Saddams bonnet. Israel would then turn the Arab world into a radioactive car-park and the US government dont want that.
