Steven sent a message to Larry Ellison Co-Founder and CEO, Oracle Corporation – email address that said:
Dear Mr. Ellison,
My name is Steven . You obviously don’t know me, and this letter makes no logical sense to write, but what the hell.
I don’t have a sad story to tell, I’m not down and out, and I am not writing for a cause. I am just writing to ask you a pretty simple, but ludicrous question… Can you make me insanely wealthy for no logical reason? I am a waiter in Palm Beach Florida at a restaurant named Buccan. I make a pretty good waiters salary, albeit, all tips. But I do ok. I’ve been a waiter all of my adult life. 18 to 51. I live in a 1 bedroom apt, I have a Ford Focus, and a dog that I love. I have decided that I would love to be very wealthy, but who wouldn’t. I don’t drink, (sober since March 17, 2003). Don’t smoke or do drugs.
I was thinking the other day, no one has ever just given a stranger an insane amount of money for no reason except for just being nice. You could be that guy!
If you’ve read this far, you are probably asking yourself, what I would do with the money. I’ll tell you.
First I would find a reputable wealth manager. Also, one of the things I would invest in is real estate. Of course, I would buy the toys…a new car, a modest boat, something around 75 feet. I would definitely buy a piece of property on the water, to build a nice home. Around 6000sf. It would be awesome if I could buy some land in Palm Beach, next to some of the people I’m serving right now! I would also travel the world. Of course I would give back, pay it forward, if you decide to honor this unbelievable request. I’m a very nice guy who would spend the money wisely, minus some extravagant purchases. Back to the boat. I know you like them. Depending on how much you want to give, I’ll probably get something a bit bigger, around 100ft. Of course I’ll need dockage to store it behind my home, so I’ll buy in the Las Olas area.
Anyway, I’ll end this dream letter. If you decide in my favor, below are my address and phone number. As I’m finishing this, I am thinking you wont even get it, I hope you do. If not just for laughs!
Steven
