Columbia House Giveaway
November 1999
This chain letter claims that Columbia House will send you a CD for
everyone you send this message to. It is curious that they ask you to
send a copy of this message to Cyberpromotions@n2music.com a free e-mail
site. I doubt that a company the size of Columbia House would have to
use a free e-mail site for a promotion. They would use a
columbiahouse.com address.
Hi. My name is Richard Douche. I am the president of the Cyber
Promotions for Columbia House. We are in a fierce competition with
companies such as Amazon.com and Music Blvd, among many others. Because
of this, I have been authorized to offer 10+ free cd's of your choice to
any person who participates in our promotion. We at Columbia House
understand that your time is very important to you, and that you don't
want to have to fill out a form and mail it to us. With this in mind, we
have developed a simplistic way for anyone who receives this email to
participate. All you have to do is send this message on to your
friends! Yes, it is that simple. Now you are wondering how many CDs you
get, and how to get them. It all depends on how many people you send
this message to. You are required to send this email to the address
below to receive your first 10 CDs. Cyberpromotions@n2music.com In
addition, you get another CD for every person you forward this to. For
example, if you send this to Cyber Promotions, along with 10 of your
friends, you would receive a total of 20 CDs. Remember to send this to
Cyber Promotions or you WON'T RECEIVE YOUR CDS!! We will email you back
promptly asking for your CD selections. Again, thank you for your
participation!!
Richard Douche President, Cyber Promotions
