NOW, that I've got your ATTENTION, and that you have probably LAUGHED at 
least 50 times, let me get serious.  I have an offer that will save you 
up to 70% on your long distance calling GUARANTEED.  And the best part 
is that it costs you NOTHING to request this prepaid calling card.

WHY would you want to RESPOND to my offer?  Here are at least SEVEN 
REASONS...

1. DISCOUNTED long distance calling, at a GUARANTEED 19 cents per 
minute, anywhere, anytime, everyday, throughout the United States, 
including Alaska, and Hawaii....with DISCOUNTED international rates, 
too.

2. ACCESSIBILITY...these cards work on all telephones, even CELL 
phones....on any touch tone phone which you can make an 800 call from.	

3. CONVENIENCE...no change to carry, carry this card like you would a 
credit card.

4. UNIVERSALITY...in fact you don't even need a telephone to use it.  
You only need a major credit card to charge it up (just like filling up 
your gas tank) for over 2 hours of usage to start.  Recharge (refill) it 
whenever needed.  You will enjoy the savings so much you will want to 
recharge it!

5. ANONYMITY....there will be no "paper trail" showing who you called.  
Your privacy is guaranteed.  No one else needs to know who you called, 
anyway!  That's your business.

6. NO SURPRISES...since you pay in advance, at a discounted rate, you 
will not receive a telephone bill for the calls you made on this card.  
It won't matter when you called, as there are no variables depending on 
what time you placed the call because you will pay a flat rate of 19 
cents, period.  And no surcharges added to each call, as much as 80 
cents in some cases!  Before you make any call you will be reminded of 
what your balance is on the card.

7. SAVINGS....last but not least, the reason you WANT this card!  A 3 
minute collect call from a pay phone may cost around $3.00, you will pay 
only 57 cents!   The cost for many long distance carriers is around 37 
cents a minute, you pay a mere 19 cents.  And, of course, 19 cents, is 
all you pay.  No nasty surcharges from the phone company or the hotel 
you're staying in.   That's right a discounted NINETEEN CENT RATE all 
the time!

MISCELLANEOUS USES:

If you're a COLLEGE STUDENT, this card is great!  Have ROOMMATES who 
don't like paying phone bills?  Give each of them a prepaid calling 
card, and there will be no fights over who pays the bill.  Everyone 
would be responsible for their own bill.  If you're a PARENT of a 
COLLEGE STUDENT you love to hear from your son or daughter, but hate to 
pay for their collect calls.  Give them a calling card, and charge it up 
for them!  That way  you will save your money for TUITION and other 
important things!   A prepaid calling card makes a great gift!
Send one to your Mom on Mothers Day!!!

If you're a business owner and have EMPLOYEES who travel, give them a 
calling card to help control your long distance costs.  This card works 
on all phones!

HOW DO I GET ONE?

This is the easy part, E-MAIL your postal address to my business E-MAIL 
address, TowerCom@juno.com
as the e-mail I've used above is my personal e-mail address (which you 
can use as well, if can't for some reason  use my business e-mail).  
When I receive your postal address, your prepaid calling card will be 
mailed to you right away.  

HOPEFULLY you enjoyed these FUN THINGS TO DO ON AN ELEVATOR.  FEEL FREE
