Weird email exchange found between Richard Perle and an unknown person

[ck4829]

A threatening e-mail message directed at Conrad Black warned he was a child of God who was “just about ready to be harvested,” the jury at his criminal trial heard Monday.

As defence lawyers in the case presented some of their final pieces of evidence to the jury, Edward Genson, a lawyer for Lord Black, revealed an e-mail sent to Richard Perle, a former director of Hollinger International Inc., on July 4, 1999.

“By the way, if anyone knows how to get a message to Conrad Black, I want to tell him that this prophet of God is after him, and I am going to get him,” the e-mail reads.

“You see I recognize a child of God when I see one, and this is one just about ready to be harvested.”

The e-mail, sent to Mr. Perle from a private address, went on question why life is bitter. “Nothing works. Money. Power. It all comes to nothing. And how do these rich people do it -- so gosh darned happy all the time?”
