First a little background for those who did not come to this page through
my home page: I used to be an Economics
professor at the University of Connecticut (USA), specialized in
macroeconomics. Now I am at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. I maintain a website
about economics research, IDEAS. And
somehow, some people think I can solve all their problems. I get quite a
few who think I will do their Economics homeworks, but others are way
off track. Here is a little sample. Note: these are the complete
emails. I just cut names and signatures. And I spare you the phone calls I
get...
This is the third page of emails. The first one is here, the second one there and the fourth one here. There is now even a fifth one.
Good morning.
I was looking at your website and trying to find a school in Fuzhou. I have
a street address for it but I was looking for an email address for it as I
live on another continent and it would be quicker to email them rather than
use regular mail. Hoping that you can help me with this if possible.
Fujian Economic School
No.17 Shipuhou Rd.
Cangsha District
Fuzhou Fujian, China
350007
I would like to email the director or superintendent of this school. Not
sure what their titles are.
If you can find anything please reply to the email address shown.
Thank you for your time

helo mr. zimmerman,
can you tell me where i can find the department that registers new business
owners, who wants to start a business in greece.
thank you
mr. zimmermann, what are you doing about my case. [name withheld],
no. [withheld] in the egyptian migration program in association with the grand
migration and manpower system in the world. my user name is wafikshukri
(what is a username; it is an inappropriate misnomer, i think) and my
"other" number is J5-INT[withheld]. i have a singular case and i've been trying
to migrate for ages, and to present myself in the most equilibriated manner
or way possible. i am not a child and seem to feel that modern global
justice would tend to insinuate that if one is not found easily or readily
on the migration lists, then it would only be fair to give him a treat
exactly at the spot where it hurts: ie. just by a pin prick on the map.
thanks anyway. (my only strength is a bunch of letters explaining why I
behave so speedily, and also why i am so keen on migration and a chance to
see things both ways.)
Dear Christian Zimmermann,
I was offered graduate admission to study Development
Economics, in the The University of Birmingham ( Ref.
No./[withheld]), The University of East Anglia (Ref.
No/[withheld]) and the University of Kent ( Ref. No/
[withheld]).
All in the United Kingdom.
I could not find scholarship or grant, last academic
year, to aid my study, and I had to ask these
Universities to deffer my admission to the 2006/2007
academic year.
Please I need graduate sponsorship, to enable me in my
post graduate study.
Can you or your organisation assist me with a
scholarship or grant?
Or can you recommend any organisation or association,
or any individual, that can be of assistance?
I will have prefer studying Development Economics in
the University of Birmingham.
You can inquire directly from these Universities,
about my admissions, and if you are willing to assist
me with my education, please pay the institution
directly.
I pray that you grant my wish.
Thank you. And I am hoping to hear favourably from
you.

Regarding the forthcoming changes and additionals in the Underground
Resources Act and Concessions Act of the Republic of
Bulgaria we request that you give us some information about the
legislation in this area in your country.
Do you have such Underground Resources Act or Concessions Act or
Mining Act? Who gives the rights for prospecting and developing the
underground resources and who determines the policy in this sphere?
Is there Geological Survey in your country and under whose authority
it is or it is independent organization?
Thanks in advance
Please Christian !
I was trying to find out if the Republic of Uganda has got a well defined
Environmental Policy.
Fortunately, I came to your E-mail ad. with some information that you can

an Environmental Policy in place !
Thanks;
Dear Christian,
I would like to ask you what organization would be capable of launching a
new global currency? The IMF? The World Bank?
You will see from the list of currencies at www.xe.com that, just before
the listing for silver, is a listing that reads 'IMF - Special Drawing
Rights - XDR'.
Do you know what this means?
I suspect that this does indeed refer to the new global currency, Noddy
Dollars, the special drawing rights referring to the drawings of the cartoon
character Noddy, appearing on each bank note, by famous Dutch illustrator
Harmen Van Der Beek, although this has been kept a huge secret because of a
global conspiracy by the Illuminati (as detailed by Alex Jones at
www.prisonplanet.com).
I hold the rights for this currency, and I now wish to authorize the
launch and sale of this new currency.
I own major stakes in stock exchanges worldwide, and as soon as I claim
current dividends, I will demand to be paid in Noddy Dollars. Therefore,
major corporations worldwide will need to be able to buy this currency, in
order to pay me. First, however, it needs to be launched and made available
on the Global Currency Exchange Market, wherever that may be.
This might sound like a joke, me coming out of the blue like this, but I
can assure you it is true.
Do you have any idea as to how I might formally go about authorizing the
launch of this new currency.
This information is of a highly sensitive nature, therefore any
signing/authorization must be done in the strictest of secrecy, and I would
like to ask you to guard this information carefully.
Looking forward to your reply, and to a better world.
Yours sincerely,
Subject: I also write a lot of papers out of your community

The Department of Revenue (tax) website is Very unuser freindly for Puerto
Rico, no phone numbers got me to where I needed. (talking about the
Puerto Rico dept. of Haciendas, IE: Dept. of Revenue.... On the phone, I
was om perpetual hold, I need to register as a temporaryvendor, and will
submit the sales tax, as I do not know what else to do. It was like
communicating between Saturn and Venus...Too long of a wait to not get a
live person on hold. The U.S. should be able to get through on the
787-277-3900, or the 787-721-2020 numbers, To no avail, I am sending
the application in, and will wait for a temporary business license number.
If there is a fee, please email me back as to what the cost may be.
Also, please provide all of the remit to (where I send the sales tax
remittance to). I do need all English, as I know muoy Pequito Espanol.
If I may be able to register before I mail in the sales tax remittance,
that is preferrable. Thank you,
hallow madam/sir my name is [...] i am in belgium .what i want to
say to you that i discover a lot in electricity from hydropower to motor
generator and solar power.i will start from hydropower in stead to build dam
or to brock the water way so as to get electricity it was for those time but
for now we have to let it go because now we can use small volum of water by
circulating the water and get the electricity which we want and we can build
any where uk,ireland,africa and and where we want even we can use see water
circulate them and to get mega watt we want ,and also if we dont want to use
water we can use shaft from the motor to generator and get electricity and
the power plant can be build even town any where we want and second why only
motor are using to the modern train i saw in eurostar nice train what about
ship.so i discover that ship can use also the motor instead to use engine
which are spend a lot of fuel so ship can travel even a year without fuel
because i worked in the ship before so i know the ship very well this is
100% in the ship can work.because the space is large and in the ship we can
use more than two motors how many is our choice because we dont spend fuel
this is next generation in ship.and also this system it can be use in
aviation now the use turbine but al we can use a motor as engine and is very
safe and plane can travel more the days you want without to fill a fuel but
because i dont know the capacity of wings can carry how big of motor but we
have to put generator so as to supply electricity in the motors and this
generator doesnt use fuel because i am living in brussel center i saw the
trum are using motor and electricity why not the plane it is very easy way
that the plane also can use motor istead using engine.so this way we can
have electricity without fuel and can be used a shaft betwwen the motor and
generator and get electricity after busting from other electricity and it
can go by it self.
so ship can go by using a motor like train and plane also can use this
way.and about solar why should we use sun to get power we can use only
inveter and put small charger from inveter to charge the battery so this way
is good and easy than use solar panel .so my dear i would like to hear from
you or to get information if i can do this reaserch with you or you can tell
me to whom should write i would like to see this soon are working MOTOR
SYSTEM and i am in belgium as sylum seeker so refugee so because i dont have
any drawing is not my fun drawing if you have any agent in belgium or patner
or collabulation with any instute i can communicate with and the can draw
please i would like to hear from you i need to see ship are using motor
instead of engine soon
Continue here.

details.
