Dear Mr. Nigerian Bank Manager

Thank you so much for your kind offer to share $750M with me. But honestly, I have everything I need and most of what I want, at least as far as material resources are concerned.
I would like to offer you a counter-proposal. Today is Giving Tuesday and my mailbox is full of solicitations from worthy organizations. I do make charitable donations as I see fit, to causes I believe in. Sadly it is never enough. And when I do donate, I am usually swamped with repeated cap-in-hand requests that I am obliged to turn down. So here's the deal: I'll forward all those e-mails to you and you can divvy up those millions of dollars to all those charities that are desperately struggling at the moment. During the pandemic, they have been unable to hold their usual mass fundraisers. Many of their regular donors have themselves fallen on hard times and are in need of a financial boost.
Just think of the difference you could make in the world! And if you act now, you can have your donation matched by another wealthy humanitarian and philanthropist, possibly even another bank manager just like yourself!
Yours for a better world,
