How do I contact bill gates? I know he has an email address, but there are loads of rumours about him not even reading them himself, plus I'm not too sure of the address  |

I was told if you scream 'Bill Gates' 3 time at the top of you lungs, he'll appear and tell you to take a number.
Have you tried sending an email to billgates@microsoft.com ? |

Ok here you go!
| Quote: | Bill Gates’ personal e-mail address is billig[at]microsoft.com, so just send your interesting e-mail there. All incoming mail to that address is screened out first by employees. Bill Gates also has a column that is published in many American newspapers and questions to that column can be sent to askbill[at]microsoft.com. I guess this address is screened out too.
Questions about Microsoft products should be sent to support[at]microsoft.com, not to Bill. And please also note Microsoft. Newsgroups (http://communities2.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx) which are a good place to ask and discuss ideas/information about Microsoft products. |

Yeah after you had to Search the net for his real email because you didn’t know why it kept sending you an email back saying billig[at]microsoft.com didn’t exist, well I guess I’ve proved my intelligence by knowing straight away that the sites I gave you have added an “i” before the “g”. hehe. 
Good luck with that email by the way!

I got my reply Its not from Bill Gates, but its from the Office of the Chairman at Microsoft Corporation. Just 10 hours after I sent my email. Atleast its start.
| Quote: | The Office of the Chairman has received your request for a contribution. Bill Gates does not make direct personal contributions, however there are a couple options you might want to pursue in support of your request.
Microsoft Community Affairs administers all of the company's community investments. While a majority of the company's donations are in support of Unlimited Potential, a program supporting IT skills development in community technology centers, the company does make software donations to qualified nonprofit organizations and supports computer refurbishment.
- Program Overview - http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/citizenship/giving/
- Eligibility and grant request form - http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/citizenship/giving/apply/
- Software donations - http://www.techsoup.org/stock
- Computer Refurbishment - http://www.techsoup.org/mar
Microsoft Community Affairs and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are two separate and unrelated organizations. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is a private organization that manages the personal philanthropic donations of the Gates' family. For information on the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, please visit the following Web sites:
- Program Overview - http://www.gatesfoundation.org/default.htm
- Eligibility and grant request form - http://www.gatesfoundation.org/ForGrantSeekers/
Thank you for considering Mr. Gates as a potential contributor.
Sincerely,
Office of the Chairman
Microsoft Corporation |
