Brink of Suicide Letter

# Brink of Suicide Letter

Did You Know You're Pushing Gary
Halbert Into A Massive Mental
Depression And Driving Him To The
Brink Of Suicide?

Dear Friend & Subscriber,
Please read the headline at the top of this page. Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Don't you feel badly about making
me so depressed people around me have started a
"suicide watch"? What
kind of
person are you anyway? Don't you have a conscience about
stuff like this? Obviously not because... Your Subscription Is About To Expire
To My Newsletter! Listen, my newsletter has an extremely high renewal rate. And,
every time someone drops out of my "extended family", I take it very
personally. OK, OK, maybe I'm not really on the brink of suicide. Maybe that
is a slight exaggeration. But, I really do hate to lose subscribers. And you know what? I've found there are some very specific reasons
why people do not renew their subscription to my newsletter. One of
those reasons is. they simply don't like me. Or they don't like my
writing and/or they don't like the information i publish. If that's
the case with you, there is hardly any sense your reading the rest of
this letter because, I'm probably not going to change your mind. On the other hand... I've also found a number of people fail to
resubscribe simply because of something I did not do. Namely... I Forgot To Write And
Ask Them
In Sufficient Time
To Renew! It's a stupid mistake I seem to make over and over. It just seems
so busy doing other things... I forget (temporarily) how much a
subscriber means to me and I fail to communicate my appreciation. But
not this time. Not with you.

I'm hoping you really do enjoy getting my newsletter and you find
it useful. I'm hoping you are just waiting for me to ask you to
renew. But... I'm going to do more than just ask you to stay on. You
I'm Going To Bribe You! To be quite transparent, I'm hoping by me writing you this letter

It was my original plan to offer you your
choice of one of two different bribes. But since I'm truly a "Prince-
Of-A-Guy" and, since I really, really want you to renew immediately,
I've decided to give you both of the bribes which include:
Bribe #1: The Boron Letters
By now, you should know about my experience at "Club Fed" which I
wrote about in my book (How To Make Maximum Money In Minimum Time) in
the section called "The Dark Side Of Success." During my time there,
I wrote my youngest son a series of 25 long letters which contain,
all in all,
the most concise, hardest-hitting, no-holds barred direct
marketing education available anywhere on this planet. I have now
into a book simply titled The Boron Letters.
These letters contain 186 pages of dynamite info.
But let me tell you this: These letters are raw. They pull no
punches. You know,
when you are serving time, you don't feel much
like pussy-footing around. Prison conversations go right for the
jugular. So do these letters. What I was trying to do here was to
give my son the fastest, most impactful education transmitted by the

I dare say I succeeded.

you should have at hand before you start to write an ad

more. These letters read like greased lightning. Sometimes, when I
was writing them, it was 114 degrees outside and I would be
surrounded by every imaginable type of felon. Coke dealers. Mafia hit
men. Common murderers. Motorcycle maniacs. Bank robbers. Embezzlers. I didn't have time for chaff. These letters are all wheat. They
contain the most
intense personal stuff I've ever written. It took me
a long time to make
up my mind to publish and release them. However,
no one has ever accused me of "playing-too-safe" and I did publish
them and they are appropriately bound between grim black covers
look as rugged as the
setting they were written at. These letters are
at any price but they are yours free if you resubscribe
