Hi. My name is Al Willen.

I'm the president of a company called Virtually Yours™ and the Official Contest Administrator for this AAA Nebraska Sweepstakes.

• We've created Sweepstakes for almost 25 years. Our clients have included major publishing houses, marketers and on-line services. (You've probably entered at least one contest we created.) In fact, we created the first on-line promotion years before most people ever heard of the Internet!

• We've prototyped the "look" and "feel" of many Fortune 500 company Web Sites ... a standard for building Internet Sites.

• As a third party, we ensure that this Sweepstakes is kept in strict adherence to the Law ... that all eligible participants get a fair, equal and truly random chance of winning The Prize.

This is important for you to know because for us, administering promotions is a serious business. We make sure they are done right.

But we also want to create a contest that isn't boring ... that's fun to play. The "Take It With You Sweepstakes" is all of that because it's extremely easy to enter ... and you have an excellent chance at winning the Compaq Presario 1920 Laptop Notebook.

In my business, they say that "a person has a greater chance at being hit by lightning than winning a prize." This is actually true in the very large national contests. However, this isn't true with our Sweepstakes. Here's why --

1.	This Sweepstakes was designed specifically for AAA Nebraska members. It isn't a national contest. It isn't a global contest. It's only open to adults living in the great state of Nebraska. This means that the odds of you winning are in the thousands, rather than in the millions or billions like other contests.
2.	Many of the larger Sweepstakes can run for months, even years. Ours doesn't. It lasts for only one month. This smaller time frame also keeps the total number of potential winners small, and increases the possibility of you being picked.
3.	Because you're allowed to enter on a daily basis, the more you participate the greater the odds of you winning "The Prize."
4.	And talking about The Prize: The Compaq Presario 1920 is an item which any person will appreciate winning. You've heard of the "Compaq" name as a leader in the computer industry, and this laptop is brimming with features that rival those in even the most powerful desktop (stationary) models. Best of all, because The Prize is lightweight and trim, you can carry it on those vacation and business trips you're planning to take. It's a prize I wish I could win! (I'm ineligible from entering the contest to keep things legal.)

Quite frankly, there isn't a catch. You don't have to buy anything to play this Sweepstakes.

We are hoping, however, that on your way to entering our daily game you'll take notice of the outstanding values our "Shopping Connections" merchants are offering. With great selection and terrific prices, I'll bet there's something available for everyone on your gift list. (And with Secretary's Day, Mother's/Father's Day, graduations and weddings coming up, why hassle with store crowds to settle for a gift that may not be truly appreciated?)

And buying on-line is not only convenient, but safe due to our merchants' "secure servers."

But regardless or whether you do or don't shop on-line, I want to wish you the very best of luck in the AAA Nebraska's "Take It With You Sweepstakes."

Maybe in June -- only weeks away -- you'll get a surprise phone call from me telling you the good news: that YOU won the Compaq Presario Laptop!
