Welcome Young Apprentice...

Dear Reader 

In light of your efforts to help promote this Blog, and as a means of rewarding your interest, we wish to bestow upon you our sincerest thanks. 

We have been following your career with great interest for some time and are pleased to see that you display many of the qualities we look for in a potential mark (pronounced: member) 

In the Martial world there are martial arts students, martial arts teachers, and martial arts masters; and you have the makings of a great master (with the right tutelage, of course). 

We are currently in a position to take you on board as a junior member of our organisation and are willing to ratify your current status as given by whomever that person is who we don't let play with us, and offer you an official Level 5: Hard Bastard rank within our esteemed, honourable organisation. 

Please see below a detailed quote for the pleasure of our mentorship; 

     - Recognition of current (sub-standard) grade - €3,000 

     - Promotion to Level 5: Hard Bastard - €4,000 (which is, of course, coming up very soon) 

     - Photo Opportunity and pleasure of my attendance - €3,000 

Total - €10,000 (or equivalent in whatever your country has decided to call its currency) 

As a special welcome, given your promising career, we wish to offer you introductory discount to the, prestigious, Future Masters Society of 20%. 

Please note that this offer is only available if you act NOW. 

Don't delay! True martial greatness is but a credit card payment away!

Yours in Budo
