DON’T SAY WE DIDN’T WARN YOU
Dear Top Executive, This letter REALLY works and could bring you Wisdom. Luck, and Wealth, not to mention untold Social Success according to preference. But beware of breaking the chain — Hector Mittelplatz of Blenheim broke the chain on June 27, 1885 and lost out on a controlling interest in turnips; James and Eloise Glossop of Windwhistle broke the chain in 1932 and the wheels fell off their Armstrong-Siddeley night-cart; a wellknown Industrialist of Today broke the chain at 10.15 a.m. on Tuesday. September 8, 1981 and his Swiss partners just pulled out of a big SMELTER deal, so watch it. With a General Election coming up, not to mention Slumps, Doles, Executive Retrenchment, Disrespect amongst the Young, Inflated Sauna Prices and a tendency to giggle when asked for extras, let alone the development of hand-held microtechnol-
ogy able to circumvent any known burglar alarm at 200 metres, you DARE NOT DISOBEY. Add your name AND TITLE to the bottom of this list. Post seven handwritten copies (please, no xeroxes) to seven topp executives-class intelligents like yourselve. Post $lOOO in gold to the address at the head of the list. WITHIN a reasonable time, you will receive (1) UP TO 1.5 Gigawatts of subsidised power (2) Up to 3 passionate social companions according to preference (3) Mind-shattering WISDOM, at least as far as the meaning of the phrase “Up to" is concerned. Sincerely yours, Martin Toplist, Executive Director, “If Anyone Will, The Kiwi Will” Enterprises, Box 999, Ngongotaba. ,
