Nice gig if you can get it…lol
Hi Carol:
I enjoyed reading your article on chocolate. Are you a chocoholic?
How would like to eat chocolate (at least 3 squares a day) and LOSE weight and experience better health? You may be familiar with Xocai healthy chocolate. If you’re not, you need to know about this chocolate. Because it’s the only cold-pressed chocolate on the planet it’s extremely high in antioxidants.
As a dentist, I can assure you that it not only doesn’t cause cavities, but it helps prevent them and decreases gum inflammation.
If you eat it and share it with your friends, the company pays you. This biz is about building an ongoing, residual income.
I would like to invite you to an event where you will hear details about the chocolate and biz and get some free chocolate.
Starting Tuesday, January 26 please attend one of our events. They start @ 7PM – North Toronto Memorial Gardens – 174 Orchard View Blvd. (Yonge & Eglinton)
Looking forward to meeting you, Carol.
Kindly,
Sheila Baker 416-782-4113
Wow, you were hit up for a chocolate convention. I should be so lucky. Lady, email me direct because you’re my next interview victim. If you have the time, that is. :)
