The NBA Player 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.
