To All,

Hundreds of Professional Hockey players in our very own nation are going
to be locked out, living at well below the seven-figure salary level. And as
if that weren't bad enough they could be deprived of their life-giving pay
for several months, possibly longer, as a result of the upcoming lockout
situation.

But you can help!

For only $20,835 a month, about $694.50 a day (that's less than the cost
of a large screen projection TV) you can help an NHL player remain
economically viable during his time of need. This contribution by no means
solves the problem as it barely covers the annual minimum salary, but it's
a start, and every little bit will help!

Although $700 may not seem like a lot of money to you, to a hockey player
it could mean the difference between spending the lockout golfing in Florida
or on a Mediterranean cruise. For you, seven hundred dollars is nothing more
than a month's rent, half a mortgage payment, or a month of medical insurance,
but to a hockey player, $700 will partially replace his daily salary.

Your commitment of less than $700 a day will enable a player to buy that
home entertainment centre, trade in the year-old Lexus for a new Ferrari,
or enjoy a weekend in Rio.

HOW WILL I KNOW THAT I'M HELPING?
Each month, you will receive a complete financial report on the player you
sponsor. Detailed information about his stocks, bonds, 401(k), real estate,
and other investment holdings will be mailed to your home. Plus, upon signing up
for this program, you will receive an unsigned photo of the player lounging
during the lockout on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean (for a signed photo,
please include an additional $150). Put the photo on your refrigerator to remind
you of other peoples' suffering.

HOW WILL HE KNOW I'M HELPING?
Your NHL player will be told that he has a SPECIAL FRIEND who just wants
to help in a time of need. Although the player won't know your name, he will
be able to make collect calls to your home via a special operator in case
additional funds are needed for unforeseen expenses.

YES, I WANT TO HELP!

I would like to sponsor a locked out NHL player.

My preference is (check below):

[ ] Entire team (Please call our 900 number to ask for the cost of specific team -
$10 per minute)

Please charge the account listed below $694.50 per day for the duration of the lockout.
Please send me a picture of the player I have sponsored, along with an Jaromir Jagr
2001 Income Statement and my very own Bob Goodenow (Executive Director of the NHLPA
player's Union) pin to wear proudly on my hat (include $80 for hat).
