Bill Gates

Bill Gates

Dear Mr. Gates

I am thinking that the probability of you reading this letter is 1:the value of your company in Philippine pesos.
However, out of desperation, i come to think of crazy things, such as how imbalanced the world is when it comes to rich and poor people.
How much difference is your monthly income compared to my entire life of savings.
How you donated 16Billion dollars to charity.
Your achievements. Your contributions to the world. You will and forever will be Bill Gates.

I don't want to bore you with my sad stories and all the negativity i have in my life.
And I won't say that I'm the unluckiest of men either.
However in my crazy daydreaming, I was thinking - how impossible is it to ask Bill Gates for 5billiion dollars? What if you really did give me 5 billion dollars?
If this letter, somehow out of some stroke of crazy luck, did catch your eye and you got the chance to read this despite of your crazy busy time, will you even consider giving me $5B?

The probability is too crazy but writing this letter still means that the chances are still not at 0%.

That said, you might be asking what I would do if I got $5B? Why $5B?

Honestly, I don't know why i thought of a $5B figure. But i know that that would be enough to live through this lifetime in content.

Boring as it may sound but i love the people around me.  Not everyone, but there are a certain number of peeps that I owe my being to. People who kept me away from insanity and inspires me to move on. I want to feel what it is like to give a friend something more than a large Gulp in 7-11. I want to feel what it is like to go on a date with my fiance other than @ the local mall. I want to feel what it is like to cook beef for my mother, for the first time.

If I had $5B, I will be able to change the lives of my love ones and the other people around me forever.

I don't want to much into details because none of these make much sense except for this:

Imagine yourself picking your nose and getting a medium-sized booger. You flick your booger to the ground and it hits an ant. The ant takes the booger home and feeds it to his family. Never did the ant family expect, even in their wildest dreams that a day would come when they can finally taste a booger. Until they grow old and die, they will be forever happy. Something you can always produce was already a lifetime achievement for the ant.

If you took the time to read this, thank you, Mr. Gates.

I know this letter is totally one-sided and i can't think of any benefit that this will bring to you and/or your company. I have no intentions of telling anyone that you gave me money, they will not believe me anyway. Only guarantee is that I will not spend the money on the bad stuff that other sudden rich guys spend their money on in the movies.

I believe there is still a chance this might happen.

Sincerely,

James
