Hostmaster email, funny stuff

Among the bazillion link exchange requests I get in Hostmaster’s email, I got this gem -

To whomever it may concern,

I am interested in your domain names firefox.com,mozillafirefox.com,mozilla.com and was wondering if you would consider selling them to me.

I would be willing to go through Escrow.com (or any reputable escrow service of your choice) for the transaction, so that you know you are in good hands.
Also, I would not ask you to purchase an appraisal. This is simply a genuine request to purchase your domain names.

If you are interested in selling, please give me your asking price.

Thank you

    Hah. We got one asking if they could be the intermediary for fedora.org. Problem is, not only would we not ever sell that one, but we don’t even have it in the first place.

    You’ve totally got to inquire and ask how much they would pay. Would be interesting to know.

    Yes, I’ll quite happily sell them to you.

    For the princely sum of one-hundred-million-billion-trillion-gajillion british pounds, your soul, the life of your firstborn child, a small sub-tropical island, the answer to the world’s energy/environmental crisis and world peace.

    And tickets to see Elvis riding the Loch Ness Monster up the Amazon.
