The WTF Letter of All Time

I don’t get much in the ol’bookfraud.com e-mailbag. In fact, I almost never check the box.

Then,this:

Good afternoon to you from the People’s Republic of China! I am Mr. D_______ from Office of Information Maintenance at Ministry of Foreign Affairs (IMMFA).

I am writing to you on behalf of the People’s Republic of China in response to your unfair and malicious remarks at:

http://bookfraud.com/2010/05/15/ni-hao-kai-lan-one-mans-insanity/

Specifically,you criticized the children’s television program “Ni Hao,Kai-lan”,your child’s favorite television show that they cannot get enough of.

“Ni Hao,Kai-lan”is not “propaganda”,though we understand that you have made this mistake because you are a product of your country’s poor education system. It is The People’s Republic of China’s attempt to help the struggling American Empire in the coming days. As your poor and backwards nation owes ours 95 trillian dollars in debt,it is obvious that when your child is an adult they will need to speak Chinese well to perform their duties in our clean and modern factories. It is also our hope that through this children’s program we can share some of China’s superior culture and history with the children of America,a country with no culture of its own. So,as you plainly see,“Ni Hao,Kai-lan”is a form of humanitarian aid.

You will notice many reports in your biased American news programs of Chinese hackers penetrating the Pentagon. They do not work for our government. They are just children in their homes performing a hobby. In their way,they are so anxious to serve their beloved nation! Of course we do not encourage this. But if Chinese hackers can do such things in their homes,imagine how technologically advanced our government must be! Probably you cannot imagine it. The reason is because you having nothing to compare it to in America.

We hope you have learned many things from our kind e-mail to you. If you have any questions,please direct them to your area’s local Consulate General of China or Chinese Embassy. They are used to answering many questions to clear up the ignorance of misinformed Americans. Furthermore,each employee speaks fluent English in addition to other languages,as we are aware that America is decades behind the rest of the developed world in language education. Finally,we are aware that due to poor diet and exercise habits Americans have difficulty in climbing stairs,so our embassy offices have elevators for your convenience. As you can see,we have arranged for your every need to be fulfilled in helping you better understand “Ni Hao,Kai-lan”so that you are no longer confused and intimidated by this child’s cartoon show.

Kindest regards to you,

This actually came over the transom, though it’s obviously a joke, and borderline racist to both Americans and Chinese. I suggest the letter writer spend his or her time looking for a better job,if he or she has one.

Thought I sorta like jokes about bad schools and diet. Kinda funny, for a douchebag.
