A message I got last night: Check it out!! --------Original Message Start--------- Dear Sir; I am writing to tell you about an opportunity our foundation is extending to the internet. First, though, let me tell you who we are: The Kids 4 Life Foundation, Inc., has been providing computers and learning technology to children in underprivileged households for over 23 years. We do this by raffling new computer systems donated to us by a number of charitable companies in the U.S., and using the proceeds of the ticket sales to fix and supplement older computer systems, also donated, for donation to families. To date, we have successfully raffled 46 computer systems, and given over 3500 complete systems to children who otherwise would not have been able to afford them. This is our first attempt at using the internet to further our cause, and though we are hesitant, we are also optimistic. We have a wonderful gentleman donating his time and experience on the technical aspects (i.e. getting this message to you), and a great company promising 25 computer systems for this raffle. All that is left is you, the reader, to participate in this program. We will be selling a total of 250 raffle tickets for each computer system, at $5.00 per ticket. Any person or group may purchase any number of tickets they wish, up to a maximum of 50 per person/group. This gives each person a 1 in 250 chance to win the computer, valued at over $2500.00, if you purchase but 1 ticket. Chances are 1 in 5 if you buy 50 - and ALL the money raised goes to a wonderful cause. If you wish to purchase a ticket, or number of tickets, you have a few options: 1. Phone. You may order tickets with a Visa or MasterCard by calling 1-800-651-1888 and asking for Item #142743. This number is available from 10:00 AM - Midnight CST 7 days a week. 2. US Mail - You may send Cash / Check / Money Order / Travelers Check to: Kids 4 Life Foundation, Inc. PO BOX 1299 Bowling Green, KY 42102-1299 3.
