      Dear Vladimir Putin, 

      After careful analysis of over six billion people worldwide, you have been 
      selected as the first Swedish MicroTan Tanning System poster boy. 

      In exchange for your acceptance of this offer you will receive one free 
      three-minute Swedish MicroTan tanning session as well as numerous Swedish 
      MicroTan Tanning System mementos. 

      Personally, I would end this message now, but our legal staff insists that 
      I continue... Your responsibilities as Swedish MicroTan Tanning System 
      poster boy include, but are not limited to, paid guest appearances on 
      cable television infomercials informing the public of the advantages of 
      the revolutionary Swedish MicroTan Tanning System, interviews at your 
      residence where you will publicly endorse our product and provide meals 
      and lodging for our advertising crew during their stay. 

      Please confirm acceptance of our generous offer ASAP via email addressed 
      to swedishmicrotan@go.com, and don't forget to visit our web site at 
      http://www.microtan.homestead.com 

      Remember, we wouldn't be making you this offer if we didn't genuinely like 
      you Vladimir Putin. "You deserve a MicroTan today!" 

      We look forward to seeing you this Sunday. 

      Sincerely, 
      The Swedish MicroTan Staff 
      and a few of our deadbeat relatives
