THE FOLLOWING IS AN ENCORE TIM MOORE BLOG
Some people never win anything.
Door prizes at trade shows, school raffles, the slot machines in Vegas or the state lotteries and Powerball. No matter how many books of tickets they buy, how many “chances” they purchase, how many magazine subscriptions they acquire to win the Publishers Clearinghouse, it seems they always come up empty. Someone else (usually in Battle Creek, Michigan) is declared the winner. Their toothy grin is prominently featured on the NEXT mailer they get showing how EASY it is to win. Another postage stamp, another disappointment.
Not me.
Why, just this week I’ve received about a half dozen e-mails from people who are looking to give me money! One is from a sheik somewhere in the Middle East who says MY NAME showed up on a list of “lost investors” of profitable oil wells who are to share in several billion dollars! What luck! All they need is about $500 to “process my application”
Another is from some relative I’ve never met who passed on and left most of their estate to me! I have no idea how they are related to me, but if I provide my Social Security number for verification, the check will be IN THE MAIL!
What are the odds that on that very same day I also received an e-mail from Microsoft informing me that since I am a PC user, I was ALREADY REGISTERED to win several million dollars in their sweepstakes! All they need is a certified check for $1,000 in order to complete my winners profile and cut me a check. They even said they would automatically deposit it in the bank for me if I sent them my account number!
This must be my lucky day!
