Chain Letter
I got an actual chain letter today in the snail-mail. It's your typical pyramid-scheme "send-a-buck to the names at the top of the list".
The twist is, they claim it is legal because you're selling the letter, not just sending money to get rich.
"7. Keep a copy of the letter so you can use it a second time. Mail it out again in six months, but mail it to the address you receive with each dollar. It will work even better the second time"
"When you handle a lot of letters, an electric opener is great"
"STAY COOL...Keep your job until you have had time to plan your next step"
From the testimonials attached (wait, how did these get added to the letter after it'd been sent?):
"I am naturally skeptical and I have tried at least 35 letters similar tot his one in a six-month period".
"When I got this letter, I said, "yeah, sure" and pitched it. Then I later remembered hearing that skepticism breeds failure while belief leads to success. So I rescued the letter, bought a mailing list and sent them out."
