> 
> THE PROCEDURE IS SIMPLE:
> 
>         1) Invest your $5.00 by writing your name and address on five
> seperate
> pieces of paper along with the words: "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING

> or bank note inside each piece of paper, and mail them by standard U.S.
> Mail to the following five addresses:
