I get many offers to participate in various lucrative remunerative schemes in exchange for my good offices and due, no doubt, to my pleasant character. As most such offers only treat with sums in the $US2 to $US20 million range I simply ignore them and get on with better things. However, the attached document, while unclear in exactly what it is offering, is dealing with the sum of $US500 million, and in addition the source of the funds is relatively creditable, if not actually ethical. I regret that pressure of work will not permit me to avail myself of the donors largesse, but thought that some other list members may be able to spare the time to prepare the necessary documentation required to acquire a few tens or hundreds of millions of miscellaneous funds. The biggest hurdle evident at this stage of the process would seem to be the locating of "The Germany" in order to further arrangements. I must say that I find it fascinating that HSBC so well retain the common touch after having risen to such august heights, and still affect to use a yahoo.de email address. Such identification with the common herr (and frauline) is touching and greatly increases one's belief in human nature. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YMMV !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, probably not.
