A colleague found this in her spam folder, and knew I’d enjoy it. I pass it on in the same spirit:

What’s attractive about THIS offer is that I’ve HEARD of Hosni Mubarak. He’s a real guy, not some made-up Nigerian prince or something.
And I just read in the paper this morning about his two sons getting out of jail, and a lot of Egyptians still believe them guilty of some sort of corruption, so it’s conceivable the family has this kind of cash lying around.
So it’s gotta be legit, right? No, don’t ask me to share the return email address with you. This is my big chance, and what have you done for ME lately?…

I have never gotten spam from an actual celebrity. I am in awe, sir.
Hosni is wasting his time. He should just go directly to somebody who knows something about enriching himself greatly through deals with military-oligarch-types. In other words, Tony Blair.
Now, now — Tony’s my main man. Long live New Labour!
And three cheers for the Third Way!
Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!
You know I like to push your buttons, Brad, I know you’re a Tony fan, I just couldn’t resist 😉
