NBA Adoption Program

The NBA Player Adoption Program Needs You!

With an NBA player's strike
against the team owners looming,   now is the time for us to show the world just
how much we   care. It's just not right. Hundreds of basketball players in our
very own country are living at or just below the seven-figure   salary level!
Atrocious! And, as if that weren't bad enough,   they will be deprived of pay
for several weeks--possibly a   whole year--as a result of the strike. But now
you can help!   For about two thousand dollars a day--that's less than the cost
of a large screen projection TV--you can help a basketball   player remain
economically viable during his time of need.    Two thousand dollars a day may
not seem like a lot of money   to you, but to a basketball player it could mean
the difference   between a vacation spent golfing in Florida or a Mediterranean
cruise. For you, two thousand dollars is nothing more than   three months rent
or mortgage payments. But to a basketball   player, two thousand dollars a day
will almost replace his   salary.    Your commitment of two thousand dollars a
day will enable a   player to buy that home entertainment center, trade in the
year-old Lexus for a new Ferrari, or enjoy a weekend in Rio.

HOW WILL I KNOW I'M HELPING?

    Each month, you will receive a complete financial
report on   the player you sponsor. Detailed information about his stocks,
bonds, 401(k), real estate, and other investment holdings will   be mailed to
your home. You'll also get information on how he   plans to invest the $5
million lump sum he will receive upon   retirement. Plus upon signing up for
this program, you will   receive a photo of the player (unsigned). Put the photo
on your   refrigerator to remind you of other peoples' suffering.

HOW WILL HE KNOW I'M HELPING

Your basketball player will be told that he
has a SPECIAL   FRIEND who just wants to help in a time of need. Although   the
player won't know your name, he will be able to make   collect calls to your
home via a special operator just in case   additional funds are needed for
unexpected expenses.
