"Hello Mark,
Look man I gots to keep it REAL with you or I wouldn't be me. I lost my father, sister a niece and nephew back in October in a terrible car crash. Let me tell you that it has been VERY difficult to deal with but I am dealing with it. I could not stop and let life get in the way of what my goals were financial or otherwise and I could not go to folks I bought something from or made an investment with and ask for my money back. This especially when I know and acknowledge that there is a zero refund policy in place. More importantly though this is now become a challenge for you where you need to step up and rise before the occasion. I am not trying to sound all philosophical on you but it is what it is.
Now you're claiming you want the money back because of your wife's illness and the time that you need to spend with her. If you just hang in there about another week or so you'll be able to whip these sites out like crazy and make/earn all the mo.ney you need to create more mo.ney freedom and time freedom!
This isn't a try before you buy under ANY circumstance. I lost FOUR family members and could not go back and ask for refunds on things I bought because of that. This is the EXACT motivation you need to COMPLETE the course and take action because this training, knowledge and skill set is what can set you free to spend that much needed time with your wife. Do not become a victim here. Do not allow your wife to become a victim. You guys fight this disease with everything you got but the most important thing you need is to stay, think and BE positive.
I will personally do what I can to help make sure you get this. By the end of this week I wanted you all to have listed your first piece of V.R.E property so do NOT give up now. You can do this and it will change your life. Use this situation and need to propel you forward versus rolling over for it and letting it have it's way with you. You are right there and just need a week or two before creating all the financial resources you will need but YOU will need to take action on what I am sharing and teaching you.
God bless you and yours,
Mark"
Now losing my stepfather many moons ago then losing my biological father was bad enough but losing more family members was beyond devasting but I did not give up. I did not quit. Providing a "refund" policy to me is creating a "safty net" for folks who are refund bandits. Not that Mark M. is a refund bandit but I stated my position on refunds before signing up for the training. Why? Because I want to force people to succeed. I have a heart and am not a cold person.
Too many whiners, complainers and moaners out there. True not everyone is in Mark M.'s position but most people will never take action. My thing was to force him and others in my training program take action! If and when he allows me to personally coach him and teach him the V.R.E. material beyond week one WHICH he's had access to ALL of it via downloads he will make more money than what he does on his job. He has chosen not to take me up on the personal training as of yet but when we spoke on the phone a few days ago said he will. Again he has had access to all of the training material to date. All four weeks is there for him and will be there for him when he is ready as will I.
I worked and am still a licensed x-ray technician so I know what radiation therapy and oncology will cost. The $800 would not have made a dent but learning my system will help him far surpass his financial goals. I KNOW I can help him do that. The $800 is a drop in the bucket compared to what he can make if he just buckles down, MAKES the time to learn this AND applies it! I am here for this guy.
For anyone else who has any doubts about me, my training and what I can do for them feel free to contact me directly because my intention IS to really help folks. Unlike other FAKE Internet Marketers who DO take your money and run I am still here. I am the ONLY Internet Marketer who's been offering the ONLY free Internet Marketing Coaching club for over a year. There are TENS of THOUSANDS in free training located in the private member's area of:
http://www.Dollar-a-Day-Per-Site.info
It is totally free to join!
Need some testimonials about others who believe in me and those that I have helped then check out:
http://www.6FigureWorkshop.com
or
http://www.Newbie2ExpertStatus.comI am not like these bullsh--ters who claim to make six figures online leveraging my "connections". I do it on my own and most people, Newbies, need to do it on their own too cause they don't have the "friends" in the industry or "connections" in the industry. I keep it real. I want to help the every day "little guy" make money from home. I want to help the folks that don't know where to start but giving them tens of thousands of dollars of training material for free. If you like it and still want to work with me THEN join one of my paid programs but DON'T be a whiner. Become a winner. Don't blame ME for YOUR short comings! Keep it real and look in the mirror. Start with yourself as someone else put it. Don't fight to change the world but start with yourself making small changes that have big impacts. Small changes over time instead of trying to do things overnight.
So now that I've posted something here because I really never felt the need before I'll give you my direct contact information. You have something negative to say it'll go in one ear out the other. If you have something positive to say then I am here to listen. You need some help I am here to help you as well but don't talk smack when you're not willing to do the work! Working from home DOES involve work. If I am going to do the work then I am going to get paid for it. I am not an enabler. I am not going to give you another crutch on top of your negative thinking and victim mentality.
It's okay to disagree with me. You can even hate me but the bottom line is I can teach you to make money from home. I AM real and don't run from anyone. So if you want to start making things happen get in touch with me or if you have a question ask it directly but don't be a complainer. Be an adult and handle things like an adult.

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
