You (all people are suffering right now in the world)



I got a letter
another one per e-mail today
the headline read: You
I read the letter once
I didn’t think twice

I read what they wrote me
but I couldn’t take their letter seriously

I wrote a letter
another one with my e-mail-program today
the headline read: You
I sent the letter once
I didn’t think twice

I wrote what they wrote me
because I couldn’t take their letter seriously

they introduced themselves
I introduced myself
they told me how they found my e-mail-address
I told them how I found their e-mail-address
they spoke of spirit, dying, charity and donation
I spoke of spirit, dying, charity and donation
they wrote with heavy tears in their eyes and great sorrow in their hearts
I wrote with heavy tears in my eyes and great sorrow in my heart
they mentioned their doctor and their health
I mentioned my doctor and my health
they spoke of fund of $ 2’400’000 United States Dollars
I spoke of fund of CHF 2’400’000 Swiss Franc
they went on with the will of god and a faithful and god-fearing person
I went on with the will of god and a faithful and god-fearing person
they said: a lot of people are suffering right now in the world
I said: ALL PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING RIGHT NOW IN THE WORLD

I will wait to hear from you to see if you can handle this task with honesty and in good faith.

warm wishes
