NBA Adoption Program

With an NBA player's strike against the team owners, 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 line. And as if that weren't bad enough, they will be
deprived of pay for several weeks -possibly a whole year!

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 keep a
basketball player 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
Vegas with Steve Winn or a tenth Mercedes Benz (lowered of course). 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, girlfriends, illegitimate children 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 (most likely on his brother's car wash venture).

"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.
