This mail had all the trappings of genuineness and I immediately proceeded to start claiming my fortune or grant as the mail says. But to be a fair citizen, I would like to share my happiness with the world so that all those "needy" and "poor" people (even though poverty is only a mindset) can benefit from my success and fortune.
This mail attracted my attention, not least because it purportedly came from the United Nations, and not from some bank, or Microsoft, or Google. The United Nations, for heavens sake!
So I had to inform all and sundry about my windfall and tell them to make friends with me, because we were taught in school that wherever there is money there are many friends. I hope to get many friends and from all over the world shortly with this information being passed around.
I have also come to know that such awards and windfall or fortune are now being distributed by the UN not to countries, but to individuals directly. However, I come to know from reliable sources, that for claiming this fortune, one must possess an Aadhaar card.
I have also reliably learnt that such a "direct benefit transfer scheme" of UN was a result of a new resolution proposed by India; and seconded by Somalia, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Ivory Coast. This has now been adopted uniformly for all citizens of the world.
The process of selection as a beneficiary is done by applying for the same. The application process to be declared a "beneficiary" is very complicated and involves among other things regular postings in various forums, including but not limited to Facebook, Twitter, group mails, mails to friends, letters to the editors, etc. about your dire needs.
There are regular audits for a period of 4 years from the date of acceptance of one's application and its scrutiny by the UN peacekeeping force, when auditors for UN (in the guise of relatives and friends) will visit one's house to assess the "neediness" and "aid receiving ability".
There may be commitments and IOU's to various agencies in India and abroad (preferably in banks abroad) to "share" some of the windfall. That is a small price to pay for a generous pension!
Disclaimer: I am sure you realize that this blog is a figment of my imagination. If you have read it and believe in it, I am sure you are a worthy citizen of India, and will continue to vote for UPA.
