  1. My wife and I are big fans.
    I would love to talk with you about a life-changing technology that you may not yet be aware of. I’ d rather communicate directly rather than in an impersonal text. I promise this will be the most beneficial conversation you’ve ever had with a fan concerning the physical and financial health of your entire family.
