Wow! I can't wait to take advantage of this wonderful chance to enter the import/export business! I know that opportunity knocks but once, and "oportunity" is even rarer. I am glad that I will not have to buy any merchandise, and I thank the U.S. government for its help.

I can't use enough capital letters or exclamation points to express how profoundly excited I am! Please send me the money when it's ready!

Sincerely,

Paul

SUBJECT: Easy 14000 Dollars Opportunity

This is your chance to get in on the ground floor of the Multi-Billion-Dollar Home Based Business Revolution. You can make $10,000 per month in your SPARE time. No more working for the next 40 years. It only take a minute and you'll be glad you did.

Best Wishes,

Steve

Dear Steve,

Thanks so much for your kind job offer. It does sound like it would be profitable to get in on the ground floor of a home-based business revolution. And, imagine, it only take a minute!

Sadly, however, I must reluctantly decline, as I have recently accepted a position in the import/export business. How strange that fate would shower me twice in the same day with such wonderful business opportunities!

I sincerely hope you will be able to fill the position soon.

Regretfully,

Paul

PS: The prospect of not having to work for the next 40 years is enticing, but it's too bad that I would have to then begin working again when I'm 70. Why is that? Oh well, perhaps I wouldn't have been suited to the multi-billion dollar home-based business revolution after all!

It has been a day now and I still haven't heard from you. As you can imagine, I am anxious to get to work and make my mark in the exciting and lucrative import/export business! Please get back to me and assure me that this position is mine, as I recently turned down an opportunity to join the multi-billion dollar home-based business revolution because of this prior commitment.

Sincerely,

Paul "Mr. Import Export" Mather

Damn! It seems I will not be entering the import/export business after all! My emails have not reached their destination and such a choice opportunity (indeed, an oportunity) must have, by now, been snatched up by someone else.

Even if the position you offered me in the multi-billion dollar home-based business revolution is still available, I am too proud to come crawling back to you after so foolishly turning you down.

Oh fickle fate! How Shakespearean that an undelivered message means I am doomed to continue my wage-slave job!

Regards,

Paul
