I'm sure they will all be happy to send me a dollar. So, lets see $50,000 * 10 = $500,000. Average cost of a kite $250 = 2000 kites I'm sure I'll get the cash, and as long as I do, the first 2000 e-mail requests I receive get to have the kite of their choice. If you are a kite supplier, send me just $1 and I will consider you for the sole supplier of the 2000 kites. Now who said these spamy mailings aren't in the interest of rec.kites. I hope you are as happy you read this as I was at reading the original posting. :-) Wavey. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Date: Thu, 23 Mar 1995 18:26:52 -1000 From: jrm3u@darwin.clas.Virginia.EDU (watchtower) Message-Id: Organization: uva Subject: Re: About to be very rich SCAMMER!!!!!!!!!
