DON'T SEND ANY MONEY!

For fate has no price

Ignore at your peril this splendid advice

An invaluable link in an infinite chain

An offer like this will just not come again


You wish you had women to charm and bewitch

Power of life and death over the rich

Young girls will be swooning because you're exciting them

Not only fall at your feet but be biting them


Guaranteed, guaranteed to capture your breath

Or possibly scare you to death

Sign it and seal it and send it to friends

Don't mention my name

Don't make any long term plans


In thirty-six hours your fortunes will change

Your best friends won't know you and neither will strangers

Do not keep this letter, it must leave your hand

You have been selected from over five thousand


A twister and dupe will bamboozle or hoodwink you

I can't say more, it would only confuse you

The wine they will offer will go to your head

And you'll start to see double in fishes and bread


Guaranteed, guaranteed for a lifetime or more

Guaranteed, for this world and the next

Guaranteed, guaranteed for the world and its mother

Cherish this life as you won't get another one


UNLESS you should take up this fabulous offer

Don't leave it too late or you'll be bound to suffer

Woebetide anyone so woebegone

You won't know you're born or about to pass on


You'll never get tired

You'll never get bored

By the way, I just hope you're insured

If you're not satisfied

If you want more

We can always provide an improved overture

Guaranteed at a price that is almost unbeatable

This offer is unrepeatable


Your troubles will vanish

Your tears will dry

Your blessings will just multiply

Guaranteed at a price that is almost unbeatable

This offer is unrepeatable


Guaranteed, guaranteed to bring fortune and favour

In a riot of colours and flavours

Guaranteed at a price that is almost unbeatable

This offer is unrepeatable


Would I lie to you?

Would I sell you a dud?

Just sign on the line

Could you possibly write it in blood?
