Exclusive: More intercepted e-mail to the CFO!

[Martore, Burns]

To: G. Martore
FROM: C. Montgomery Burns, loyal employee
RE: Project Griffon -- Phase II

1. Our octogenarian operative in Cocoa Beach is arranging for handwriting analysis on Hopkins by the same Florida detective agency Hewlett-Packard Co. hired in that boardroom spying case. Our operative says the agency, Action Research Group in Melbourne, is conveniently close to the Pumpkin Center.

2. Wellesley College says the change you requested will be final once you sign Cayman Islands registration papers. Also, here is my suggested new name; it is at least longer if not more important-sounding than Dubow's Texas fund. Please initial if OK:

The Gracia C. Martore Endowed Chair and Scholarship Fund in the Ethics of Philanthropy and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Executive Compensation Disclosure Institute, LLC

  2. Jim, have your source in Cocoa Beach, get the reported, that those "wanting to be real cops, pretending to be detectives" did on me. Talking about reading something SO FUNNY. Before they because pretended cops, they must have wrote for MAD MAGAZINE.
