A real letter from a CEO to his employees.

I don't know why anyone believes this is real.

It's written exactly the way most (literate) chainletters are.

And lots of those use real names / institution names to add legitimacy, too.

Looks like they do plenty of work that is funded through taxes of some kind.

I agree. These words don't sound like the words of an entrepreneur. One becomes an entrepreneur because you every inch in your body desires it; the risks are far too great to make it worthwhile otherwise.

As for tax & politics: businesses prosper in South Africa, but we have insane taxes (most of which goes towards projects that will never benefit any business), mountains of strict regulations and political uncertainty.

Agreed. It strikes me the way this one did:

Hah! What's hilarious about this one is how obviously illegal that would be.

sigh It's sad that the people that reaffirm their political beliefs using this crap have such primitive understandings of business, law, etc.

Perhaps someone should contact Michael Crowley and see whether he really wrote this thing. (Of course, he might deny it even if he did.)
