I would like to be like those great ten wise men — you know, their type come only once in a life time. If you are lucky to know or learn from them, then your life will never be the same again. They are God-sent, and they must remember to use their wealth to help the less priviledge.
Mr. Carlos Slim Helu,
My name is Reverend Trey Noran and I have been working extremely hard to raise needed funds to open a homeless hotel and outreach center in Denver Colorado. The homeless epidemic in America is approaching an all time high. I would assume that you give to all types of charities as I have used up all of my available capital thus far. I have an ample amount of people and star support, but have not been able to make the right connection to generate funds. My Godmother, the famous Mae West, If she was alive would get me the backing from the stars that I need to do my fundraiser. I have been told not to contact you as you would be like other Billionaires and push my request to the side, but in my heart, I know that God will be opening a door very soon. Therefore, I put my trust in him and each time my thought comes back to you. I hope that you are willing to help us when no one else will. You can look us up at Hislovestreetministries.com/
God Bless,
Reverend Trey Noran
Carlos Slim is definitely old school. He’s of the tried and true “guerrilla billionaire” strategy: buy lots of businesses and either keep them for the cash flow or fix ‘em up and sell them. The goal is to make money off a lot of deals instead of a killing on just one.
