I just sent this off to one of my favorite companies. Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company. They produce the American Spirit line of tobacco products. They are additive free and they even have an organic tobacco cigarette.
I hope I win!     I also hope I lose to an even better email!

*Begin Email*
Hello SFNTC,
I previously wrote to you about NYS prices of your product due to excessive taxation.
Today I write for 3 others reasons.
First, there is a show on Netflix I've seen titled "American Horror Story". Season 1 Episode 11, at 9:19 minutes, the actor is smoking at the table. She is smoking a marlboro, you can tell by the pack. Except 10 seconds later we see her with a cigarette in her mouth and it is an American Spirit. I know because I see the Thunderbird clearly on the cigarette. Rewinding the video I noticed that in fact the marlboros are "morleys". They're supposed to look like marbs, but what is the actors personal choice....
American Spirit!
Are you aware your product was in this show?

The 2nd reason I write is because I found this article today. http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=89207
Are you able to direct ship your product? Will that allow me to order my product of choice and avoid state taxes because it is an internet sale? I want to use your product over the competitions, but at $11.80/pack I just can not justify this cost. Perhaps direct sales will enable me to save some money and thereby return to you as a loyal customer?

Finally, to make the transition to direct sales even easier, I would suggest you consider adopting Bitcoin as an acceptabloe form of payment. This could allow you to accept payment from sources worldwide! Typical payment middlemen can be disintermediated, leaving more money in yours and mine pockets.
From a customer willing to pay with bitcoin, I would suggest if you do not feel informed as to what Bitcoin is, well this would be my go to explanation which I encourage you to read and consider.

Your loyal customer,
As long as government isn't meddling in our voluntary association,

When I get a response from them I will share it here!


Next up on my list of companies to email....
OPEC!

[durrrr]

i think that we need to just start letting companys know that we would  prefer if they accepted bitcoin. and to further it even inform them a little more about it. and of course we need to always be learning new things about the currency to give the best opinions and able to answer any questions a company may have

I have another suggestion since it is going pretty slow at the moment.
Raise my contribution to 0.02 BTC per page (will keep aside 0.06 in total for 3 pages).

Do you think this is a good idea?

Done, I raised our prize as well.

So, now everyone can get up to 0.04 for every page of this thread.


Btw, we have to give prizes for page #3, which one do you choose?
You can just reply to a qualifying post of your choice and let him know that he wins and how to claim the prize.
Make it bolded or something

I think I am the only one who is eligible for a prize on page 3,  and it would be silly to send myself a prize for that.

So what is the process of winning here ? One needs to register at BitBandit.eu or promote Bitcoin to a business or both ?

BitCoinDream, if you have honestly read the original post that explains everything, and still haven't understood i'll reward you right now

Bitcoin Users:
Promote Bitcoin to a business you frequent and win prizes

Business Owners:
Sponsor a prize and be featured in this post permanently

How to win prizes

1. Think of a business that you frequent but doesn't accept bitcoin (online or not)
2. Tell them how bitcoin could benefit them and give relevant real life examples (similar business successes)
3. Post the email you sent here, or write down the conversation if it was real life
4. Sponsors from the forum will randomly pick one winner for EVERY page (can win multiple prizes each page!)
(if no business comes to mind, just hit again one of those already posted)

Is it that hard to understand? lol

We just got moved to Games and rounds after being few weeks in the main forum.
This campaign will die here

I understand the mod's point of view. Any thread where coins could potentially be given out should not be in the main forum where it is primarily for discussions. I believe the mod might have mistaken this thread being similar to your other giveaway topic. You can PM the mod asking him to reconsider moving the thread back, cos this a not a game, it's about promoting bitcoin to businesses.

[CryptoPanda]

Yes, I changed the title hoping to get more attention from users, but unfortunately it made look the thread like it doesn't belong in the main forum. Anyway, messaged the mods and hoping for the best

[CryptoPanda]

hm, seems the mods don't want to return it.

[counter]

This is a fun idea and I hope it catches on.  I hope to win a prize or two myself.

The chance to win is pretty high, currently there is about 1 entry per page, so the chance of winning is 100%

[CryptoPanda]

actually yes

[jonald_fyookball]

is this thread still alive?

I want to make this a bigger deal...get sponsors....create serious incentives for bitcoin adoption

OP should lock this thread so no one can post any email clippings here.
