Dear American friends,
         I never robbed the Philippines. Me and my wife Imelda just used
a little pocket money to buy I bunch of Picassos. I never wanted to rig
the elections. Yet, I was forced to do so by the evil Mrs. Aquino. You
see, her followers started stuffing ballot boxes and then forced my
followers to do the same, sometimes under threat of deadly force. I served
my country for many decades and I protected it from the chaos that results
from a change in government. I extended my goodness and generosity to
your country, my friends, by attempting to help your Presidents and 
Senators in their hour of financial need. I even helped your economy by
returning your financial aid in the form of real estate investments.
And I helped the impoverished people of Switzerland by investing in
their financial institutions.
        So what is this talk about my being a crook and a burglar that I
hear on this net? Please do be fair to an honest and peace-loving
old man.
               Sincerely,
                          Ferdinand
