In all the GET RICH QUICK ad you will see on the net, everybody wants to 
"cut" you in on how to become wealthy - out of the kindness of their 
heart - when you send them anywhere from 5 dollars up.

Well, I WANT YOUR MONEY TOO!  In my case however, there is quite a 
difference.

What I want is for you to read this post and sit back and say, "WOW, HOW 
DUMB!"  Then I want you to look at it again and say, "WHY NOT!"

I am what could be called a little excentric, although I'm sure that a 
lot of people who read this will probably call me a lot more, but 
everyone will have to admit that I am being completely up-front.

Okay, here is the pitch:

   I would like for you to take out a 1 dollar bill, put it in an 
envelope, seal it, address it to the address listed below, put a stamp 
on it and drop it in the mail. 

   In return, I will give you absolutely NOTHING!  You will NOT aquire 
enoromous wealth (unless you do it through hard work of your own).

   In short, there is NO benefit to you at all.  I am promising you 
NOTHING!

Okay, now is the time for you to sit back and utter your unbelief.

Why in the world would you send me ANYTHING, much less a dollar?  Well, 
that's the issue.  Sometime, we just have to do something insanely 
absurd, just to keep our sanity.

Do I really expect that you will send me a dollar?  NO!  Do I hope you 
will send me a dollar?  I would be an even bigger fool than you probably 
already think I am if I told you no.

So, get that dollar in the mail today!  You might even feel good 
afterward.

Is this for real?  YES, and so is the address; but remember, you get 
NOTHING in return - except thanks.
