MY OWN FINANCIAL CONSULTANT (C) 1991 - Eastern Digital Resources - all rights reserved. This product may not legally be copied except under the terms and conditions stated herein. Hi. We at Eastern Digital Resources are proud to present MY OWN FINANCIAL CONSULTANT. Over the past 8 years we have spent THOUSANDS of dollars in advertising, trade shows, and direct mail campaigns trying to get our software into computer stores. We had little success until we decided early in 1988 to go direct. You may have heard of the concept of "Shareware" in which you are encouraged to use and copy software packages for your friends. SUPR'SORT is being distributed under such an arrangement. If you use the program and like it please make a copy for a friend. WHAT'S THE CATCH? There is none unless you are interested in making some very BIG money. The program is yours, no strings attached, to do with it as you please. THE BUSINESS PLAN (or How To Start Your Own Successful Software Business) As we said earlier, we have spent THOUSANDS trying to reach you through retail distribution? It was only after we decided to pass those dollars on to you in commissions that we realized success in distributing our software. This is how our plan works. All of our software titles (now over 30) sell for $25.00 per copy. The copy you have received contains a serial number reserved in your name. If you register your copy by returning the enclosed registration card along with your payment of $25.00 then we will pay you a commission of $5.00 for each copy registered by those you distribute to. But it doesn't end there. When your friends give the program to others we'll pay you a $3.00 commission on each of those second level registrations, a $2.00 commission on the third level registrations and a $1.00 commission on the fourth level registrations. (Each person who registers will also receive the same offer. This is NOT a pyramid scheme. IT IS AN INCREDIBLY SUCCESSFUL METHOD OF DISTRIBUTING OUR PRODUCTS WHILE REWARDING YOU FOR YOUR PART IN MAKING IT A SUCCESS.) Let's look at the numbers: If you register your copy and distribute it to 10 associates who also register, we'll pay you $50.00 ($5.00 times 10 registrations). You've already doubled your investment in the software, you have the use of a good software package, and you have the good feeling of having helped 10 friends discover the package and started on their way to a successful business... Because... NOW YOU'RE IN BUSINESS! When each of your 10 friends distribute the program to 10 others, we'll pay them the $5.00 commission and we'll pay you $3.00 commission. That means $300.00 in your pocket. The third level of distribution when each of those 100 give the program to 10 others pays you a $2.00 commission or $2,000.00. (sounding better isn't it)? Finally the fourth level will pay you $1.00 per copy or potentially $10,000.00. Sounds incredible doesn't it? BUT IT WORKS! It works for both of us. By the time you have done your job, we will have paid you a total commission of $11.00 per copy or approximately 46% of the retail price. That's the same percentage we have offered to the computer stores with little success. But since we started this program early in 1988 we have had phenominal success in dealing direct. The only question I have for you is: HOW QUICKLY DO YOU WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THE SOFTWARE DISTRIBUTION BUSINESS? If you don't think the plan will work please use the program as you'd like and pass it along to a friend anyway. You have three choices. You can: 1 - still get in later when you see his success. 2 - Or you can register the one program you received and watch your business grow slowly. 3 - Or you can order a dozen titles ($300.00 total investment) and watch your business explode. Return the enclosed order blank which is in the catalog. Our guarantee to you. This is not a get-rich-quick scheme or a come-on. We will continue to be successful only so long as you are. If at any time in the future, you feel that the programs are not as represented, that you have not received the commissions expected, or that the sales plan itself is not viable, simply return your original diskettes and we will refund IN FULL all of the money you have paid less the amounts already paid to you in commissions. All commissions are calculated from the first day of the month to the last day of the month and are paid to you by the 15th of the following month. EASTERN DIGITAL RESOURCES P. O.
