With that sort of money, I really wouldn't mind sharing some of it with genuine worthy causes and I wouldn't mind spending a tiny fraction of it sorting out the worthy causes from the scroungers. It'd be like being on 'The Secret Millionare' on telly.

It would be cheaper to respond to those begging letters, by replying to them, & enclosing a card directing them to the nearest benifits office, then post it off without a stamp.
Retlaw.
