We get a lot of emails here at GWL. This is an email we got this morning. I cried into my cornflakes.
To Whom It May Concern,
My name is ***** ******* and I am a 20 year old college student.
I am currently an undergrad at the University of Rochester.
I am writing to you today because of a need that I have. I am in need of a new computer and I do not have the money to purchase a new one.
What I am writing to say is that in order to buy a new computer, I am selling ad space on the new computer in order to help cover its cost. This is an extremely unique way to advertise that is sure to get noticed and talked about.
The ads would be laser engraved on the top of the aluminum computer by a company located in New York City.
I would be a good person to do this for because the laptop I buy will be seen by a lot of people.
During the school year I go to a school with more than 4000 students and a vast graduate program and faculty located in a major city. And during the summer I live and work in New York City, riding the subway every day with my computer which, at least with my old laptop, I often used on the subway.
The idea behind the selling of the ad space was that your company would get some publicity, an ad wherever I go, people seeing your ad all the time, and I would be able to afford a new laptop. The ad space I sell would be by the square inch and would cost in the range of $55 a square inch.
Please feel free to contact my at any time with questions or to express interest. Thank You,
