Will you help?


Since  September 11, 2001, Americans have come together as never before in our generation. We have banded together to overcome adversity. We  have weathered direct attacks on our own soil, wars  overseas, corporate/government scandal, layoffs, unemployment, stock  price  plunges, droughts, fires, mad cow, SARS, high gasoline  prices, and a myriad of economic and physical disasters both great and small.  But now, we must come together once again to overcome one of our  greatest challenges yet.


Hundreds of Professional Football players in our  very own nation are going to be locked out, living at well below their seven-figure salary level. And as if that weren't bad enough they could be deprived of their life sustaining pay for several months, possibly longer, as a result of the upcoming lockout situation. But you can help!


For only $27,080 a month, about $902.75 a day (that's less than the cost of a large screen projection TV) you can help an NFL player remain economically viable during his time of need. This contribution by no means solves the problem as it barely covers the annual minimum salary, but it's a start, and every little bit will  help!


Although $900 may not seem like a lot of money to you, to a  football player it could mean the difference between spending the lockout golfing in Florida or on a Mediterranean cruise. For you, nine hundred dollars is nothing more than a month's rent, a mortgage payment, or a month of medical insurance, but to a football player, $900 will partially replace his daily salary.


Your commitment of less than $900 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. Plus, upon signing up for this program, you will receive an unsigned photo of the player lounging during the lockout on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean (for a signed photo, please include an additional $150). Put the  photo on your refrigerator to remind you of other peoples'  suffering.


HOW WILL HE KNOW I'M HELPING?


Your NFL player will be told that he has a SPECIAL FRIEND who just wants to help in a 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 in case additional funds are needed for unforeseen expenses.


Remember, a lifestyle is a  horrible thing to  waste...
