his family. There were 3 boys and only one pair of shoes, so each day 2 brothers
had 1 shoe each and one ( usually my dad cause he was youngest ) had no shoes.

<DIV>Even if it wasn't a scam I would be hard pressed to give someone a giant
scale airplane just because they can't afford one. No one worked harder than I
did to get into the hobby. I am from one of the poorest families that you
have ever heard of. I grew up in an extremely poor neighborhood, never had hot
running water or a furnace in our house (we heated with wood and warmed water
in kettles to bathe with), the roof always leaked and I shared a room
with four siblings, but I never ever asked anyone to support my passion for
aviation or my hobby. RC activities are a luxury! If I were half a million
dollars in debt the last thing I would be worried about is flying a giant
scale model. When I was growing up I would've felt very fortunate to fly a
glider, or a 1/2 A. If I had a 40 size sport plane I would've thought that I
died and went to heaven. As previously mentioned this is just one of the
scams that have become prevalent on the Net. Apparently the best use of
the greatest information and knowledge sharing device since the telephone is
to scam honest people out of their money, and get them to buy "male
enhancement products" and other junk. This kind of thing really ticks me off
as I feel sorry for all the honest people out there that really
struggle and live in poverty (having been there
myself). Delete it and go on with your day.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>P.S. I have also received the please help me invest $500,000,000 that I
have in South Africa and can't get out, letter. I deleted that as well.</DIV>

<DIV>Hello to whom it may concern<BR><BR>My name is Randy Winnett, and if
you would be so kind in giving me a few <BR>minutes of your time I’ll try
to make this as quickly as possible and but <BR>please understand this is
not a sympathy letter. On March 28 1999 I was leaving work at a recording
studio here in Nashville, TN (I was a session drummer) when a man came up
to my car and pointing a 45 cal handgun in my face demanding my car, money
and everything in my pockets, well as I was trying to calm him down by
saying you can have anything you want just please don’t shot, the
man told him that "you scene my face" and shot me 5 times and then
took off in my car, you may have heard about the Music Row shooting in
Nashville, TN. Well that happened in March of 99 and I was able
to come home from Vanderbilt Hospital in March of this year and Thank
God I made it, but for the last 2 ½ years I went through was complete hell
on me and to save time after 23 surgeries and 1 year of learning how to
walk and talk again and having a body full of scares everything seems to
be ok for now, My right leg from the waste down is paralyzed and I have to
wear a brace but I can live with that, Now I know your thinking why are
you telling me this well the reason is I have been flying RC planes since
I was a child, and every since I got out in March Iv been flying everyday,
but just when I thought that all the bad in my life was gone someone stole
my H9 Sukhoi 33% weeks ago at our local field, Well all the club members
were so kind and pitched in and bought me some basic flight gear but
I'm a long way from flying again But what I was wanted to ask
and I know this is probably un heard of but all I can do is try and
ask if it would be possible to donate to me one of your Extra 330L
2.3, I was trying to save up for awhile to buy a composite
airplane but my finical situation is in a very bad position right
now, You see the problem is I had Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance
and my medical expenses totaled over a million and a half dollars ,well my
policy was only a million so they dropped him after I maxed out and I have
so many bills that have to be paid now So I live on a very tight budget ,
So if you could please see about helping me with this it really would mean
a lot to me.You have know idea how I hate asking for something like this
it just seems to take every bit of dignity you have but if I don't ask and
try then I would just simple have to wait until I can buy another
one, But if this is something you just cant do, do you think you
could arrange maybe away for me to get it at cost and maybe pay with two
payments or something like that, but if not Thank you so much for just
even reading this , and one more thing I know a story like this
is probably hard to believe and I would probably be skeptical about it to,
But I have over 2500 sheets of medical records and bill statements that
exceed well over a million and a half dollars, my family also has taken
photos from the beginning of all this to monitor my progress, so if you
need anything like photos of me in the past two years just say so I
will send what ever you need just ask. Thank you for listen and
could you see that this reaches the right person..<BR><BR>Take
care<BR><BR>Randy Winnett<BR>
