Dear Sir,&#13;
&#13;
You have been given the mind of "future man" to help the human race if possible. The S.I.G. have made you their only link with the human race so that the S.I.G. can step in and help the human race with your human choice and permission.&#13;
&#13;
Would you please consider helping to relieve the drought in Australia? If the size of Australia is too big to contemplate please consider relieving the drought for say a tenth of the area for a start.&#13;
&#13;
How about starting on the northern tablelands and north coast of the state of New South Wales? Would you please consider helping to relieve the drought in these areas? Thank you.&#13;
&#13;
Do you want me to send you any newspaper articles to confirm the drought and the breaking of the drought if you agree to consider bringing this relief?&#13;
&#13;
Best wishes  &#13;
Yours faithfully  &#13;
Bruce Kell&#13;
&#13;
P.S. $10 enclosed with thanks BK&#13;
