RE: An Envelope for Joe (A Registered NGO)

Dear Friends,

I write to ask that you support my new venture, I know, I know… the previous businesses failed, the Protest shop closed prematurely, if I had just held on a couple more years… but like the Mala store and the Immigration Service it had to go the way of the Dodo Bird and the Balanced Budget, which brings us to the reason I am starting this charity, “An Envelope for Joe” it is in direct response to the plight of my friend Joe, We are a new an’ poor charity but we ask that you read this letter with Sarah McLachlan’s “In the arms of an Angel” playing in your head, like they do for dem stray dogs in ‘merica.

 While you and your family are living the ‘Good Life’ , my friend Joe is finding that MoP hard to manage, he’s scrimping and saving but just can’t make ends meet, so I ask that you help me to help Old Joe make a better go, help me to help Joe live the ‘Good Life’ too, all I ask is that you forego one meal a month to help Joe, we pledge that 100% of the money raised will be used to buy Envelopes for Joe, let us help this man regain his dignity, he has been forced into reusing envelopes, the $250,000,000,000 we gave him in December 2016 was not enough to keep new envelopes on his desk, times are hard for him while you dine on Church’s Chicken, do I need to go on friends? Are we not our Brother’s keeper?

Stationary is not a United Nation’s Human Right but it should be, no human should have to suffer the indignity of reusing envelopes, it’s 2017! , so I ask you all to dig deep for Joe, after all he works so hard to ensure you keep living the good life, Joe had to endure flight on a cramped private jet in China just so that you could keep the lights on at GPL, he eschewed a comfortable seat on a commercial aircraft so that you may know where the GTT money went, he was unable to tell us but at least he tries, we know his struggles well, he was forced to apologize after stating he would not apologize, that kind of thing can do great Harm to a free spirit like Joe, and now the new low… recycled envelopes.

Envelopes were once a thing of great mystery and promise, the joy of opening a mailbox and finding a crisp new envelope, what could it contain? Stories from your new pen pal in Thailand, is he a Lady or a Boy?  Nowadays we know it’s all bills and notices, except when it is from a Ministry, that is our last bastion of mystery, who knows what goes on in those places, who exactly thought VAT on Education was a good idea? So dear friends, let us keep the romance of the Envelope alive, give generously, give to me and I will pass on an Envelope to pity pity po’ boy Joe.

I know some of you are haters and you will want to hate, as they say potaoes got to potate, so all we ask is that you send hate mail in a new envelope addressed to Joe, MoP, Rohan Kanhai Drive GT, that way some good may come from your animus.

All cash donations should be placed in new envelopes and slipped into my hand surreptitiously at the earliest opportunity..

Let us Co-operate...

Faithfully
