Hank Paulson’s bailout letter as Nigerian spam:

Dear American:

I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude.

I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country has had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of 800 billion dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be most profitable to you.

…

Not only do we need a well-thought out process and better leadership to get through a time like this – but we also need lots of humor.
