But, realistically, that would be against the entire purpose of the Ring to tempt people beyond logical conclusions. What should be written is probably "I am your preciouss and I will grant all your desires", that would be more true to its being.
That was Sauron's big mistake. If he'd just used a combination of rewards and threats the ring would have been on his finger in only a short time, as he would see it.
