Wow, what an honour. An invitation to join some stupid list which will ask me for yearly contributions. No thanks.

As great as I am(!), I would not yet consider myself a “key executives” with “outstanding business and professional achievements”. Do they realise that I’m not even located in the USA? We don’t even have a President in Australia (yet)

I am surprised that people still fall for this rubbish. Then again, if people can fall for other kinds of unsolicited emails like Nigerian 419 scams, maybe it isn’t so far fetched. Best of luck to thee.
