Then he goes on to say, “My name is,” and I won’t say his
name.
Then he says, “I am in a jam and need to make $10,000
before the end of the month. There are three reasons why I
need this: one, to keep a promise to a close friend. I told a
close friend that I would have a motorcycle before he gets
back from his deployment in the desert.”
He goes on to explain that, “Two: I made some bad deci-
sions with money a while back and I’m currently very tight
with money. In other words, broke,” is what he says.
“Three: I’m on vacation from the 13th of this month until
the 29th and I would like to be able to do something over
that time period. I would at least like to be able to visit my
grandparents in Fort Worth and have enough money to en-
joy it.”
He tells me where he lives. He then goes on to say he
wants to create a joint venture with me.
On the second page he describes himself as being a mar-
keting specialist and that he wants me to send out a mailing
to my list, looking for people who want his services. He says,
“I will charge a retainer fee up front, anywhere from $5,000
to $25,000, depending on how much of a profit I think I could
make for their business.
“That is with anywhere from 5 to 50% of the profits gen-
erated. The retainer will be paid off on the back-end profits.”
Then he goes on to say, “I will give you 50% of all the prof-
its.” He gets down here and asks me to call him and so
forth, and gives me his name and number. One of his P.S.s
says this:
“If you are wondering why there is a $20 bill attached to
this letter, it is because I hope to be sending you a large
stack of them in the next several weeks.”
I then looked at the 10 people in the room and asked: “Is this a
hypnotic letter?”
