I was delighted to receive your message, as I am in the design and
\nplanning stages of an invasion of West Africa to establish my own
\ncountry there. I am still a little short of funds, however, so your
\noffer comes at a very opportune time. After all, high-tech military
\nand infrastructure equipment doesn’t come cheap.<\/p>\n
I’ve already obtained a cargo vessel from which to launch the
\ninvasion, and have collected a highly qualified team in the areas of
\nmilitary strategy, tactics and logistics, as well as teams dedicated
\nto neo-urbanist infrastructure development, policing, medecine,
\neducation, sustainable multi-crop agriculture, law and
\nmetaparadigmatic semiotics.<\/p>\n

As you can see, our materiel requirements are quite significant, even
\nfor a relatively minor operation such as this. However, we hope to
\nachieve a stable and sustainable polity in a relatively short time.<\/p>\n
I am caucasian by birth, although I spent the first 15 years of my
\nlife in Liberia. My skin color, however, might cause resentment if I
\nset out to establish a new dictatorship in West Africa. Therefore, I
\nshall undergo a genetic engineering procedure to increase the density
\nof melanocytes in my dermal cells, thus rendering me black. This
\nshould alleviate any latent racism.<\/p>\n
I hope you are as excited about this project as I am, and will soon be
\non board. The funds you mentioned may be transferred to an escrow
\naccount at E-Gold (http:\/\/www.e-gold.com), at which time I shall
\nundertake to move them to the destinations and accounts of your
\nchoice.<\/p>\n
Warmest regards,<\/p>\n
