Subject: Yootopia: Want to make $20?
Hi,

Want $20? Read on (I promise I'll try to keep it short and to the point).

All you have to do is go the opera ledger...
> http://www.editgrid.com/user/dreeves/opera
And enter your name and a bid: How many yootles would you pay for $20*.

Danny will give $20 each to the top 3 bidders.**

Simple, huh!

Bethany

[] confused? questions? check out the faq: www.yootles.com

[*] remember, a yootle is equivalent to a dollar, and if you stay
negative too long you may be called on to cough up $$ equivalent to
your yootle debt. BUT you can also participate in other yootle
auctions to bring your yootle balance back into the black.

[**] why in the world would danny do this? Well let's be honest, any
of you who've heard Danny talk about yootles up to this point.. you
haven't really been taking him too seriously, have you? I bet you
haven't been reading the emails, and you probably haven't even checked
out Yootles.com. I mean, why should you care about yootles? Because
Danny is willing to pay you $20 to get you to care. So go read the FAQ
at yootles.com, get interested, get excited, and make a bid!
