You CRUEL people! All of you making fun of poor Mike and his heart
condition...
The guy must be really distressed, he's obviously broke, despite his
great efforts and his generosity... he's always tried to help others, so
surely he deserves help from all of us.
For example back in August 2004 he posted to groups offering to "Turn $6
into $60,000 in 90 days, GUARANTEED" - how generous was that? and again
in October of the same year he offered to share his "MAIL ORDER MONEY
MAKING SYSTEM!!!!". In April 2005, he promised "Mucho dinero baby!!!!"
...
... sadly, things took a turn for the worse... he became desperate...
but by his own hard work, he pulled himself out of trouble! I know this
to be true, because in May of that year he bared his heart for us all
(probably exacerbating his medical condition) , declaring (on several
newsgroups) "I was desperate so I tried this and it worked....make
money!" - you see? even after his period of desperation, he *still*
wanted to share!
And now, after a lifetime of offering to help people, the man is asking
for $20,000 and all you do is joke! You should all be ashamed!

P.S. Since you bastards are too mean to help him, I'm personally
starting a 'Save Mike Collins' fund. If you change your mind, you can
save whatever dignity you have left by sending a donation to:
The 'Save Mike Collins' fund
Care of:
The Donald H. Rumsfeld home for the criminally insane PO Box 52, Anbuja,
Nigeria.
I, too am collecting for my namesake. Plse send ALL donations to my
paypal account as per my e-mail addy. Every single penny will go to help
Mike.

Hell, I just want a new house. Send me money too. Beats working for
it....
