All of you, who are extensive users of the internet, will immediately know what Burkina Faso
This concerns an idea I had for marketing a tee-shire, which is described in that e-mail:
TEXT BEGINS:
We talked about marketing a tee-shirt with an emblem reading:
CEO
African Development Bank
I really meant what I said about not wanting any money out of this (or credit). If anything comes out of this, it would be due to your own efforts. But if you wish, make some small charitable contribution from the proceeds but…don’t tell me about it. That would be all the compensation I’d want.
There are a range of possibilities I have in mind, from the simple to the ostentatiously complex.
The simplest would involve the front and back of a tee-shirt; the back with large letters saying:
Trust me!
I’m from
* translation: “the land** of upright men (of integrity)”
** Could a man from such a land possibly cheat you?
The front of the tee-shirt would have small letters over the heart of the wearer saying:
Steven Searle [that is, customize with the wearer’s name]
Chief Auditor in Charge
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (ADB).
WEST
The most ridiculous extreme of this concept would involve the kind of gear pro race car drivers wear, covered with a variety of patches endorsing various products. Each patch would be emblazoned with the wearer’s name, but would identify him in a number of capacities:
Chief Auditor In Charge…Burkina Faso
CEO, National Bank of Nigeria
Chief Loan Officer & Launderer, Basque Separatist National Bank, Barcelona , Spain
Chief Financial Officer of Off-Shore Tax Shelter Island
Utmost Economic Czar of the Grand Duchy of Lichtenstein
I am the Man from S.C.A.M. [Secured Currencies’ Authorized Merchant]
Grand Vizier of the G-20 Shadow Government
Chief Designer of Fast-Buck, Instant Profit WEB pages
Editor-in-Chief of Money-Making Sob Stories (sliding scale for editing scammers' rough draft English text)
Chief Marketer of the Area 51 Beautification Project
Dating Facilitator for the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling*
* caution: Handle with care or these ladies will break your heart and/or your head

After this quote I got from Wikipedia is a sample of a scamming e-mail which inspired this tee-shirt:

FINAL COMMENT:
[sigh] Perhaps I could have become a wealthy man by single-handedly producing and marketing this concept myself. But I am a philosopher and wannabe statesman, not an entrepreneur. The supreme irony of my lack of salesmanship: If I had made my fortune by selling this novelty item, I would have had the means to jump start my campaign for the presidency. But, not to worry, I wish to introduce another novelty: Campaigning by refusing to accept any and all campaign contributions. Wouldn’t that be a novelty? [More on that, later.]
