Help a hockey player in need

Since September 11, 2001, Americans and Canadians have come
together as never before in our generation. We have banded
together to overcome tremendous 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 our
greatest challenge yet.

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

For only $20,835 a month, about $694.50 a day (that's less than
the cost of a large screen projection TV) you can help an NHL
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 $700 may not seem like a lot of money to you, to a
hockey player it could mean the difference between spending the
lockout golfing in Florida or on a Mediterranean cruise. For you,
seven hundred dollars is nothing more than a month's rent, half a
mortgage payment, or a month of medical insurance, but to a
hockey player, $700 will partially replace his daily salary.

Your commitment of less than $700 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,
RRSP/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 NHL 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.

YES, I WANT TO HELP!

I would like to sponsor a locked out NHL player. My preference is
(check below):



[ ] Forward [ ] Defenseman [ ] Goaltender

[ ] Entire team (Please call our 900 number to ask for the cost
of a specific team - $10 per minute)

[ ] Jaromir Jagr (Higher cost: $32,000 per day)

Please charge the account listed below $694.50 per day for the
duration of the lockout. Please send me a picture of the player I
have sponsored, along with an Jaromir Jagr 2001 Income Statement
and my very own Bob Goodenow (Executive Director of the NHLPA
player's Union) pin to wear proudly on my hat (include $80 for
hat).

For you,
seven hundred dollars is nothing more than a month's rent, half a
