Dear Internet,

I trust you’re all doing wonderfully and sitting comfortably on your mountains of spare cash.
I am writing to present you with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change the world… specifically, my world.

You see, I have conducted extensive, highly scientific research (i.e., a quick thought while staring at the ceiling),
and concluded that if each of the several billion people on this planet simply donated $1 to me, I would become a
millionaire—or, ideally, a multi-billionaire. It’s basic math, really. Revolutionary, even.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Why should I give this random person a dollar?” And to that I say—excellent question!
Unfortunately, I don’t have an excellent answer, but I do have confidence. And isn’t that what truly matters?

Consider the benefits:

  • You get the deep, soul-satisfying feeling of helping someone achieve their dreams.
  • I get a suspiciously large amount of money for doing essentially nothing.
  • Together, we redefine what “effort” means in the modern economy.

Think of it less as a donation and more as an investment… in my future ability to never bother you again with such ideas.

And remember: it’s just one dollar. You probably won’t even notice it’s gone. Meanwhile, I absolutely will
notice it—especially when multiplied by millions.

So go ahead, be a pioneer. Be one of the first to say, “Yes, I contributed to that person’s completely unearned wealth.”
History books probably won’t mention you, but I will definitely think about you when I’m buying something unnecessarily extravagant.

Thank you in advance for your unquestioning generosity and your willingness to support this bold experiment in human optimism
(and mild delusion).

Warmest regards,
A Future Millionaire (hopefully)
