Here is a sample spam letter I got on the 14th of May,
Dear H.O.T. Lovers and H.O T. Friends,
It has been since last fall that I sent a newsletter. Time flies when I am
having fun. Since last summer, we have planted 6 of our HOTexas BBQ
restaurants and it has been fun. The first one is in Sabinal, Texas. One is
still in development in Monument, Colorado. We opened in Red Lodge, Montana
in September and Billings, Montana in November. Then we came to Rapid City,
SD and opened one in January and one in March. We will open #7 in Keystone,
SD in the shadow of Mt. Rushmore next week.
If you are curious about these restaurants and why we are so excited about
this fast growing chain, go to
http://HOTexasBBQ.com . So far, we have only
franchised one store, in Billings, MT. We plan to franchise them nationwide
as qualified franchisees emerge. Here is the way it works: First, you send
us $1000.00 in certified funds (cashiers check, money order or wire
transfer) You can also call in a credit card payment to the home office if
you wish. That number is 830 988 2931. Just ask for Vicki or leave your
number. The physical address is
Habaneros Of Texas, Inc.
P.O.Box 404
Sabinal, TX 78881
As soon as the funds are received, I will give you a call to discuss the
details of this opportunity. Be sure and leave your contact details in any
correspondence. If you are not pleased with the details of the franchise
agreement, just say so and your money will be immediately and cheerfully
refunded. The reason for this "filter" is to insure that respondents are
serious and at least somewhat financially capable of following through
should the opportunity seem interesting for you and us. This letter goes out
to over 100,000 recipients. I would not have the time to respond to mere
curiosity seekers. Thank you for your cooperation in this process.
The acceptance of this Real Mesquite-Smoked Texas BBQ product has been
phenomenal to say the least. This is why we are opening up the franchise
opportunity rather than trying to finance all future growth internally. The
up front franchise fee for the next 10 stores is being kept very low, at
$10,000. Subsequent franchises will be marked up as national coverage and
resulting advertising costs rise. If you are a long time follower of our
company and are confident in its character and that of its principles and
have some capital, time and energy to invest, we welcome you as potential
franchisees. Otherwise, be looking for this soon to be familiar logo to go
up in your neighborhood:

Our first product, Habaneros Of Texas HOT Sauce, is growing steadily in
acceptance throughout the world, especially in the restaurants. If you
aren't close to Sabinal, Texas, Monument, Colorado, Red Lodge or Billings,
Montana or Rapid City South Dakota, just click here to order in a supply for
the long, H.O.T. Summer.

This stuff is especially good mixed with Barbecue Sauce to give it a zing,
tailored to your own personal taste. This is the simple recipe we use:
1 part HOTexas Sauce
7 parts Cattlemens Classic (best for ribs) or Cattlemens Original (best for
Brisket and Chicken)BBQ Sauce.
Mix well. Want more kick?, add a little more H.O.T.
Enjoy!
Have a good time this summer and come by and see us.
God bless you and may He continue to bless this wonderful, free country,
Bill Fernald (They are calling me H.O.T. Bill)
