Dear Sir or Madam, Are you interested in a means by which to raise funds for yourself, your organization, its members, and various charities you may support? If so, I might have just the thing you're looking for. I own an established, profitable small business that I have operated in Blacksburg and at Va Tech for eight years running now. Perhaps you have heard of me or seen me in action. If you have been to any of the Virginia Tech basketball games in Cassell Colesium, you may have seen the long lines of people at my booth. The small business I speak of is Eskimo Joe's Shaved Ice Snowballs. I am now selling this business and I wonder if your organization might be interested in its purchase. Sale of this business includes an established clientele, two mobile ice shaving machines, ice making wet freezer, dry freezer for ice storage, coolers and assorted syrups and equipment. Also included with sale is a summertime four-year contract with the Montgomery County Frog Pond pool located across from Corning Glass on Rt. 460, a space at all Va Tech men's and women's basketball games, a space at all Va Tech football games in Lane Stadium (weather dependent), and another potential summertime pool contract. Negotiations for this are in progress. Also included with sale is a spot at the local Steppin Out festival in downtown Blacksburg, and an option to purchase a spot at the Salem Fair, a ten-day event and second largest fair in the state of Virginia. There are numerous other possible events these shaved-ice snowballs would be welcome at if you have the time and manpower. With sale I will provide training and consultation. I also have a son who can work one of your stands this summer and provide excellent on-the-job training. I ask you to take a moment to think about this proposition. Eskimo Joe's is immensely popular in this town. The beauty of this business is its mobility (carts will fit easily on the back of a pickup truck) and extremely low overhead. How many businesses do you know of that have a near 90% profit margin? This business could provide work and income for your club members during both the summer and winter months, not to mention funds for your organization or organizations you may wish to raise money for. Additionally, acquiring this business could provide invaluable hands-on knowledge for your club members of the nuances of owning and operating your own small business. If you feel taking on something like this would be too overwhelming, perhaps your club or organization would consider teaming up with another club to do this. The business comes with two ice-shaving machines; therefore two sites can be worked simultaneously. Again, this business is established as a proven money maker and will provide income for your club members and your club. If interested, please reply email and we can discuss more details. I won't tell you my asking price at the moment, but I will tell you that you can easily recoup your initial investment in one year's time. This offer is legitimate. This business is legitimate. I have a registered federal tax id, and will be willing to show you my tax returns for the past eight years. Perhaps you saw the piece the Roanoke Times did on me last month. If not, I have a copy I could show you. Please consider my offer. I hope to be hearing from you soon. Thanks for your time. Have a nice day. -- ************************************* eskimo-joe@vt.edu www.eskimo-joes.com
