Treasure awaits!!!

Hello all,

So I was up in the attic over the weekend going through some of grand-pa's old stuff and I found an interesting picture of him from his youth. I unfortunately dropped the framed picture and the glass and frame broke. I was of course upset at this, but when I began to clean up I discovered that behind the picture, hidden, was a very old map... a treasure map! And it outlined the exact location of a fortune in pirate gold! Now I am of course very excited about this and I am putting together a team to go and recover the gold. I have an inventor, a cool guy who doesn't really want to go, a smart ass, a cute girl, and a fat kid, so I'm all set!

Now I know it seems incredible that this could be real and you're asking yourself, "why didn't his grandfather just go and get it if its this easy?" And the answer is that the technology didn't exist back then to do this safely. We can bet to find layer upon layer of booby-traps and no doubt some criminals will hear about our plans and try to foil us, but with today's high tech tools it shouldn't be a problem. So now the problem is getting those high tech tools. And in short, we need money.

Now there is a slight possibility that we don't succeed, but I can't see that happening, so if we raise the funds, we'll all get a big payout. Your share will be equal to the amount you contribute. So please send as much as you can*. ($10 minimum)

I look forward to hearing from you,
Brent.

*In the event that no treasure is found, or that there is in fact no map at all, all moneys will not be returned and instead will be spent on chips and dip.
