Dear Precious Person:

 

Your needs are important to me, and they are even more important to God. While you might think that I am a financially wealthy man, you should know that there have been entire years where my earnings have been at "poverty levels" despite having an earned doctorate with top grades from a strong university, excellent experience and solid references. Thus, I can definitely relate to the wilderness struggles that you may now be going through.

 

It is for these reasons that I willingly pay extremely generous commissions on viable projects brought to A. B. Clark Marketing and that I initially chose to provide this information for free. However, you should know that while recovering from the damage done by a drunk, uninsured, illegal immigrant motorist, I began to realize that the annual costs associated with the "Dr. A. Bruce Clark's Civic Website" are quite literally in the tens of thousands of dollars.

 

Therefore, I have asked each and every user of this information to pay $5.00 (i.e., the cost of a beverage and a dessert) toward the maintenance of this website. It is my hope and prayer that God will richly bless those honoring this very small request. Additionally, I  want to thank in advance those who feel led to hire A. B. Clark Marketing, purchase its reports and/or contribute more than $5.00 to help offset the costs associated with this website. For those that provide $50 or more, a framed copy of "The Moral of the Maple" will be sent.

 

In return for $150, Dr. Clark will personally research the meanings of your first, middle and last names, along with maiden name if applicable. Since the Lord knew you before you were born (Psalm 139), such an analysis can help you to better understand your purpose in life.

 

Just as you need the help of others, so too do we at A. B. Clark Marketing, and small efforts do make a LARGE difference. You are indeed a very precious person, and your help is genuinely needed.

 

Yours truly,

 

Bruce

 

PS I look forward to receiving your payment in the near future.
