When I walked into my house this morning, I picked up the mails from the letter box. There were 3 letters waiting for me. I opened the one that had an unfamiliar look, unlike the common debt note from banks chasing me on my credit card bills or utilities due notice. On the envelope, it printed “Some personal good news for you”. The letter was from Readers Digest, for a moment, it seemed as if everything stood still. I’ve been waiting anxiously for a letter from them as I have entered myself into the RM700, 000 contest. Could I be the one ?
I tore the envelope and in it was a letter and a small piece of paper. I read the paper outloud. It was a “saying of the day” extracted from a calendar. For 8th of March 2007, it read:
I smiled. For a split second, I have forgotten all the horrible things in the world, the worries, the disaster that we see in the daily newspaper. My spirit was uplifted. I continued reading the letter and I was pleased to know that I have the opportunity to claim an entry form.
Apparently, not everyone can enter the contest, only I suppose the loyal, diligent and deserving ones. My effort was worthy after all.
You are a lucky person, per se. But lucky in terms of getting that letter, err, no. I’m sure a lot of other people received them as well. It’s just very well worded junk mail. I’m not saying you shouldn’t enter, but err, good luck?
i know someone who worked in RD. They send out thousands of these letters daily… Well you’re still lucky considering our country’s population is >20 million
hahaha ….what a blow to my lucky ego !! i knew it was a well worded junk mail but I was just wondering what are my chances of winning ?
time will tell … if I’m REALLY lucky ..hehe
I’ve been getting that letter for more than 8 years, but I never got the money. Was I unlucky? Nah, I’m doubting the contest ’cause I needed to buy junks before I could enter the contest. Crappy stuff.
chris: thats untrue. you dont need to buy anything to enter. did you enter ? if you didn’t, obviously there’s no chance to win anything ! 😛 I received several free useful free gifts from them.
are you still receiving the letter ?
