Scratchcard

Leigh and Westcliff Times, 14 January 2014

A Shoebury couple
had the best possible
Christmas present
when they scooped
£1 million
on a National
Lottery scratchcard.

Malcolm Peel
revealed
that his wife, Elaine,
is suffering
from terminal cancer
– and he will now
be able to give her
everything
she ever wanted.

It is difficult to live
without saying “no”
to your bright wishes
and ambitious
longings

that demand
additional expenses. In fact
you are sure it is difficult
and people who know
tiny secrets

want you to continue
thinking this way. Of course,
you are right to anticipate
that there are easy
and time sparing methods

of earning decent
total of spare dollars
that can be spent for fun, rest
and delight. You can learn
how to become

richer and happier. It is right
to stop wasting your time
and use the following link
and read
all you have to know.

 

New Job! Work close to home

Spam email from ‘Weil Hedwig’

Your brother
has invited you
to the wedding party.

Your love
thinks of having a child.
Your old folks

have health problems,
the attic
of your cottage

looks like it’s about to crumble
any minute,
and your boss insists

on your taking some course
in a local college.
And all you can perceive behind

all those matters
are many spare dollars
disappearing

from your account and wallet
faster
than you can make them.

Fortunately you can bridge
all your urgent cash disbursements
and afford

small sweet pleasures of life!
Go here to learn
how to make cash

offhandedly.
