Title A name given to the resource Department of Justice Emails Description An account of the resource The Department of Justice received more than 11,000 e-mails in response to the agency's public solicitation for comments upon its plans to distribute the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 established by Congress to benefit the victims of September 11 and their families. These e-mails have been organized here by date. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Friday, January 25, 2002 9:34 PM To whom it may concern: Such greedy people. In one sentence they say no amount of compensation is worth their loved one's life, yet they argue over the exact amount that they wish to be paid. If you want to sue someone, file a lawsuit against Osama Bin Ladin. The citizens of the United States did not murder your loved ones and neither did the government, yet you vent your anger at the people who have tried to help you the most. Do you realize that we all lose loved ones every day? What makes the people of New York City so special that they feel they should receive some kind of compensation for their loss? No one paid the victims of the Oklahoma City tragedy, yet somehow they have managed to survive. My father-in-law was murdered in cold blood on the streets of Dallas and our family received no compensation. All his children had to struggle to gather enough money to pay for his funeral. And I hear that you people are complaining about getting less than a million dollars.....please. Stop your whining and get on with your lives as best you can. If you didn't have the foresight to plan for this kind of tragedy by PURCHASING life insurance and contributing to a 401K plan, then you must start all over like the rest of us must do. Stop trying to forecast how much money your dead spouse would have made for you over the span of his or her lifetime, because they might have died next year at the hands of a drunk driver in an automobile accident and you certainly wouldn't be getting a million dollars for that............ signed, Sick of the BS P.S. The most stupid thing this government could ever do besides making millionaires out of all you whiny New Yorkers is to pay to rebuild Afghanistan!
