We are running a special between now and June 15, 1992.  Here is some
information about that:
 
Date:   16-MAY-1992 17:58   Expires:    5-JUN-1992 17:51
From:   SYNFUL
Subj:   DRYCAS Membership Drive ($$ SAVINGS $$)
 
We are running a special on DRYCAS memberships now through June 15th, 1992.
 
If you are a currently subscribing DRYCAS member, and you put a payment
onto your account which is received by June 15th, we will add an additional
10% as a bonus when we apply your payment.  For example, if you pay $30
(for an additional year), we'll add another $3 giving you an extra 5 weeks!
 
Also, we've found that word-of-mouth is the best advertising, so if you
"recruit" a new DRYCAS member for us who sends in a payment of $30 which is
received by June 15th, we'll not only give the new user that 10% bonus, but
we'll give you a $5 credit (good for two extra months) as our thanks!  (New
members must include a note saying the username of the existing DRYCAS
member who "recruited" them.)
 
For more information on sending in payments, see HELP External_Accts or send
mail to ACCOUNTS.
