"NBA PLAYER ADOPTION PROGRAM" NEEDS YOU

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 Florida or a Mediterranean 
cruise.  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 
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.

"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  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.
