Today’s funny email

I quote exactly for your entertainment:

Hi William,

Don’t know if you ended up with any Google stock out of the deal where Pyra sold to Google. I am actively working to buy stock from current and former Google employees.

We have a legal contract authored by one of the lead legal firms in Palo Alto.

It allows us to pay you now for stock which would get transferred to us after a liquidity event occurs. In addition the agreement allows you to participate on the upside of the stocks appreciation after an IPO.

If you are interested in getting money now for your stock, please contact me.

To save the author embarrasment and me any potential harassment I will leave the writer’s name and info off this post. However, I cannot imagine anyone stupid enough to take a deal like this unless they are desparate for money (for which there are probably better solutions) or the offer is a lot higher than I can imagine it is.
