Save Phil!

· 4 messages · 1 Feb 1997 - 5 Feb 1997
Hi! My name is Phil and I'm a really nice guy. So please send me a penny and then I can pay my bills! If everyone sent me a penny then I'd never have to worry about money again. I could even start my OWN charity to help others. Maybe even you, someday. Just think of what your pennies can do to help: $10.00: a tank of gas $25.00: my cable bill $50.00: food for a week $100.00: my phone bill $225.00: car payment $450.00: rent for one month You've saved the whales (they died anyway), you've written to third-world dictators (who didn't care), you've marched for the babies (who didn't get any money because it all went toward some executive luncheons), but I guarantee that every $.01 sent to Phil will go directly into Phil's pocket. There are NO administrative costs to eat up your donation; ALL contributions will go directly to Phil. Please mail your penny to Phil today: SAVE PHIL! 717 S. Glenwood Avenue Springfield, IL 62704 USA Just think of the good feeling you will have inside when you mail that lonely penny to Phil! Why, you will probably be able to sleep better than you've been able to for a long time. Don't donate to worthless charities that steal your money, donate to Phil. Thank you very much for your charity and generosity, -Phil
