With the Christmas season approaching, please look into your heart
to help those in need.Hundreds of National Basketball Association 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 current lock-out situation. But now, you can help!
For only $20,835 a month, about $694.50 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. This
contribution by no means solves the problem, as it barely covers the
yearly league minimum, ...but it's a start!Almost $700 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, seven
hundred dollars is nothing more than two months rent or mortgage
payments. But to a basketball player, $700 will almost replace his
daily salary.Your commitment of less than $700 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-for a signed photo, please include an additional $50.00).
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.
