Highly Confidential
From: George Walker Bush
202.456.1414 / 202.456.1111
Fax: 202.456.2461
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
Halliburton 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

While I'm nicking from other people's journals, I should mention that [livejournal.com profile] flw has a survey going on that is more revealing than most. You should all take it.

Also, [livejournal.com profile] hydrozoa asked a question I think about often: which celebrity will play you in the movie version of your life? It took me a week and a half to remember that the Mrs. says (regarding me): David Hyde Pierce. Who do you guys think will play yourselves in the movie? Of course, I already know all the answers!

which celebrity will play you in the movie version of your life?

My friends in college used to play this game. I always used to pick Amy Irving to play me. Now, I'm not totally sure; I think she's a little too quiet.

Your userpics look more like a Renee Zellweger or a Meryl Streep to me. Amy Irving has always kind of bugged me for reasons I can't explain. You know, you see someone in a movie play a role you don't like, probably Yentl for her, and then you don't like them in any movie. I know this is true for Frances O'Connor. (Don't mind me. I am feverish and raving.)

Oliver Platt. A hopeful me says Tim Robbins. Perhaps the mutant clone of Oliver Platt and Tim Robbins.

No way -- Johnny Depp. Absofuckinglutely.

Because I'm an IDIOT, that's why.

I went around for hours wondering, "Why would Frank think that he looks like Edward Platt (http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/PersonDetail/personid-19160)?"

Oh.

Yeah, OK, I can see Oliver Platt. I can see Tim Robbins too. But I still stick with my original answer.

Geepers, Johnny Depp? I am flattered. Are you trying to pick me up?

I have thought that ever since What's Eating Gilbert Grape. What a good actor, too.

I just don't know. I can't think of anyone. Maybe Johnny Depp?

It's a little harder with you because other than that one pic I haven't seen you in about, what, 13 years? I haven't looked at the old "LOG" in a while but I remember that there are about a hundred pictures of you there. I think you were wearing flannel in all of them.

(You know, it is a sore spot with me to this day. There were about ten thousand "candid" pictures of [livejournal.com profile] flw in the LOG every year, and I never had one. Not one in four years. Unless you count the "senior class photo" in which we are giving the Black Power salute.)

This might take weeks, but I will figure it out.

You tend to get in a lot of yearbook photos when you have a pathalogical need to be the head of every club in school, at the expense of your GPA. About the flannel-- do I bust on your fashion choices? Why do you give me such grief? Remind me to kick your ass the next time I see you.

Hey, I didn't say you looked bad in flannel. You were the epitome of pre-grunge coolness. Believe me, I am not going to harsh on anyone's fashion sense at a time when I was mostly wearing clothes that my mother bought for me.

ok, I won't kick your ass-- especially since you didn't say "ally sheedy" or "winona rider" in response to the above question.
