Default I'm special!

Last week I got a letter in the mail saying that if I sent in my $2.95 acceptance fee I would receive $200,000 for the next 20 years, can you believe it?! This new mailing is even better...It turns out I'm "more special than any of us imagined!"

"Did you know that you possess some very rare, hidden traits? ______, you are indeed blessed! Because of these traits...you are eligible to become part of our exclusive club and to share our Greatest Kept Secrets, too, absolutely free! By the way as you read this, you may be saying to yourself that this is all a bunch of hooey. But I swear on the Bible we will send you our Greatest Kept Secrets free of charge. You see, every year the association hand-picks individuals from around the world possessing your unique traits to share in our secrets -- in fact, we are going to reveal to you, absolutely free, the Greatest Kept Secrets of All Time for Money, Power, Romantic-Love!"

WOW and I thought this was just going to be an average Monday!

This letter goes on for 8 pages!

You're SO special! And lucky!

Not everybody gets to learn the Greatest Kept Secrets of All Time for Money, Power, Romantic-Love!
