Band substance
Reader Terry Lean has a clue that members of the government are planning for a life after politics.
“What a pleasant change to receive a business proposition from a reputable name,” he says, enclosing his spam from the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
“Compliments of the day to you. Following the Global economic direct investment Scheme, I want to do business for the benefit of the both of us to boost economic ties and build on the changing business climate in your country and the enormous opportunities your country has to offer,” writes someone called David Wright Miliband MP.
Has he been visiting Nigeria recently to pick up business tips? Seems so.
“As the British foreign secretary, I got your contact from the internet security directory affiliated to my office and I want to invest £40,000,000 in your reputable company or in any good sector of your country’s economy.”
Good to see a politician planing for a future career “as soon as I retire from office,” as Mr Miliband puts it.
Times must be tough all over. I got a similar email from Dick Cheney.
