And I forgot to ask: I received an email saying it had been a month since I'd requested the sample, and they were now offering free shipping (big woop) and 2 other freebies:

"First, I want to "bribe you" with a free copy of my highly acclaimed book, Thresholds of the MInd. Jack Canfield, author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books, and many other bestselling authors and world-famous personal growth teachers, have said that this book contained information that literally changed their lives.

Next,I also want you to have a 5-CD set of my talks at a Centerpointe retreat, worth $159.00. Thousands of people have paid up to $2,200.00 to learn this material at a Centerpointe retreat, but it's yours free as my way of saying "I'm sorry." "

I don't know what the "I'm sorry" is all about unless two solicitation letters got merged by mistake.

The question: are more and better offers mailed if I don't respond for a while?
