A Deal of Importance
It affects YOU! It is so important I must forego the pleasure of a personal letter in order to write 5,000 people to-day—500 of whom—the wide-awake ones who read this letter through—will be able to coin it into dollars—real money—money you can spend.
What we now offer you has never before been offered by any body in the world. It is a combination we are fortunate enough, just at this time, to be able to offer you, because of an important deal we have just closed—a deal that may easily spell dollars to you. Read every word of this letter—it may be—possibly is—the only thing to make you a successful and wealthy man. . . .

I acknowledge getting your telegram over the telephone yesterday, and if I had been in funds would have answered by return telegram, but such is life. I accommodated a friend by loaning him $750, which will probably be paid the last week of never. I thank you for the offer, and when I am in funds will call on you either personally or by letter.
Very truly yours,
