My response:

Dr. Richard:

Thank you for your concern and for your offer, however, Morris was right! I am dead. Not 4 months ago in a car accident, but, this past Labor Day weekend when I caught an E-mail virus. I died within days. It was a slow and painful death. BTW, don't trust that Morris fella! He's crooked and lazy. He should be a politician! Getting back to my situation, I am dead. I've spoken to God. We went to a football game, last week. God enjoys hot dogs and beer and is a huge football fan. He doesn't care much for the team owners or agents or players' reps. He said something about having a special "place" for them? He also mentioned that he has a special "place" for international spammers. I'm not sure what he meant by that.

Anyway, being deceased, I have no need for the money. Perhaps you can give my portion of the money to Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson so they can buy a portion of the St. Louis Rams!

Gotta go, Saint Gabriel needs some help with his blog......

Sincerely,
General Tom
