Friends,

It is with great sadness that I've learned, this morning, some very distressing news. I'm actually still in shock as I type this, because it's a little hard for me. Harder than I thought. But here goes...

One of my friends, a colleague and a client, Chip Tarver, emailed me this morning with news that nearly knock me over my chair. He was replying to my email this morning, notifying my clients and subscribers about the teleseminars this week.

Chip and I (and other marketers) did a product last year called "First Contact Secrets." Other marketers include Alex Mandossian, Armand Morin, Stephen Pierce, Joe Sugarman, Jay Conrad Levinson, Joe Vitale and many more.

(There was a thread just recently on this board about cold-calling. This is exactly what this product is about. And more.)

Anyhow, Chip told me he just returned home from the hospital when he got my email. You see, this past Satuday Chip and his wife Paula, who live in beautiful Tennessee, were hit broadside by a commercial truck. (An Orkin truck, to be precise.)

Chip was flown to the hospital in a helicopter. He's got a broken collar bone and ribs. Bad shape, but doing OK.

However, Paula died.

I'm very sad about this, as I know them very well.

Here's my request. Chip surely needs to do something to raise some money to fly Paula's body to Delaware, pay for the funeral, cover burial expenses, etc., as he has no insurance from what I can tell. More important, he needs to find a way to replace her monthly contributions to their household income

If you can, why don't you buy his product. Go there now:

http://FirstContactSecrets.com/ (must order offline)

Or if you wish, simply send a donation, regardless of the amount, to Chip directly to:

Chip is trying to set up a 2CheckOut (he hates PayPal), so I'll let you know, if you wish, when he does. (We're also getting together to do a mini-fundraiser -- with a donation page -- this week to help out. I'll let you know ASAP.)

Please help, won't you?

(Chip, God Bless YOU. I love you, man.)

Here's the obit for those interested:

From Dr. Joe Vitale:

Chip is pretty bandaged up. And he still can't move much. But he had the strength to write this email to me, and asked me to pass it on...

(By the way, Paula's funeral is today.)
