Larry Ellison's accountant got emotional in his letters to the high-spending Oracle CEO. The San Francisco Chronicle got copies of accountant Philip Simon's e-mails begging Ellison to cut his billion-dollar credit line.

"I'm worried, Larry," the world's unluckiest accountant wrote to his client. "I know you view me as a pessimist. Maybe you're right, though I would disagree."

Simon wraps up with, "I know you don't like to discuss this. I know this email may/will depress you."

For those who can't quite read it:
