OK...the end of the month is fastly approaching, and my current
negotiations with Absolute International (www.absoluteint.com) has
fallen apart, so I'm turning to you my subscribers and supporters for
financial help.

Every computer needs a screen saver. Why look at flying Windows or
moving mazes, when you can amaze your associates, clients, family and
friends with an Afrocentric screen saver from City Lights Software
(http://www.citylightssoftware.com).

City Lights Software offers some of the most unique afrocentric screen
savers, available online! Our Black screen savers are the ideal gifts
for coworkers, distant relatives and friends. We deliver ONLINE -
Direct to your Desktop.

As a fundraising (survival) strategy, we are having a weekend long RENT
PARTY. You remember them from the old days don't you? When a neighbor
or friend lost their job, or was on hard times, they would have a party
and ask people to pay $10 at the door to raise money for rent. Well we
are discounting five dollars off our normal price of fifteen dollars
this weekend to raise emergency money. You can now purchase any of City
Lights Software's fine line of quality screen savers for just $10.

We represent icons of the entertainment, photography and art worlds.

Entertainment: Ray Charles, Red Foxx, George Clinton, All Stars of Jazz

Educational: African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans and
Native Americans

Bronze Beauty's

City Lights, fine line of screen savers are designed for Windows PC's
and require a minimum of 4 MB of memory. They come direct to your
desktop via the Net or as a hardcopy on CDROM. They are best viewed at
a minimum configuration of 640x480 with the monitor display set at no
less then 256 colors. Our products contain high quality graphics and
many entertaining effects and features (such as wallpapers or music).
City Lights provides a 100% money back guarantee and full technical
support via phone, fax, and on the Internet.

Normally, when doing an online promotion such as this, we only get a 1%
response rate, but I'm asking you to change that statistic. If you have
a Mac or don't use a screen saver, send $10 anyway. If you are cash
poor (like me), then forward this email to everyone you know...come on,
help us out
