So i am to ask a billionaire for 0.01% of his fortune.. its fair to say he wouldnt notice its absence, and i certainly would notice its arival in my bank account.... and while it's unlikely i will recieve any response as the book says "if you dont ask, you dont get".
So with this in mind i picked my target, and did a little research. He is Ingvar Kamprad, he is the man behind the furniture empire IKEA, he is as you may be aware Sweedish , he is 82 is married and has 4 children.
You can find the letter below:-
.......................................................................................................................................
Hallo Ingvar,
Although i am not Sweedish, I have been visiting your store and devouring its delicious meatballs for as long as my memory stretches, and so i feel some afinity with your people. OOOOh! i love those meatballs, and the sauce ... good heavens Ingvar what fine cuisune!
I love your furniture too, because its stylish and also relatively inexpensive, However unlike yourself (in switzerland) i live in england, where i am very harshly treated with reguards to tax, And so despite my best efforts i am poor.
I wondered if you could hook me up with 0.01% of your fortune, this would make no dent in your accounts, but massively boulster mine and make me the happiest man in england. I'm possitive it would be tax decuctable as a charitable donation, plus you'll recoup some when i come in for meatballs.
Dont worry about similar letters, i will keep any corespondance to myself.
many thanks,
mike shotton
