I've gotten ones like yours Tony, I just ignored them.

Have a look at this one. :rotflmao1:


name = michael
email = michael@xxxxxxx.xxx
phone = XXX_XXX_XXXX
comments = Hello.

My name is Michael Michola and I am the President and primary benefactor of the Quit Smoking Cigarettes Organization Inc. a Non-Profit 501(c)(3), established to help people quit smoking. I am also the registered domain owner of PressureWashingServices.com.

In order to raise money for the organization, I have put my entire Internet domain portfolio up for tax deductible contributions, at their estimated values, according to Estibot.com.

PressureWashingServices.com is estimated at $800. Therefore if you think the keywords would help you, I will accept a tax deductible donation to the Quit Smoking Cigarettes Organization in the amount of $800 in exchange for the domain name PressureWashingServices.com.

Essentially you will be getting the domain name for free, as you can write the purchase off on your taxes, and sell it down the road, for the same price or higher. I will be matching your contribution by donating my personal intellectual property, and the Quit Smoking Cigarettes Organization will be able to continue helping people quit smoking.

I know times are tough right now. So, if you do want the domain but can’t afford the full asking price, I can either lease the domain to you on a monthly basis for $32 per month, or finance the purchase of the domain over a two year period with 20% down at 20% interest.

• Lease the domain
• $32 per month ($96 per quarter in advance)

• Two Year Purchase Plan
• $160 down (20%)
• $32.58 per month for two years.
If you choose either option, I will send you invoices through PayPal from the Department of Hometown Security (my other business entity) .

(A lease or payment plan could not be considered a tax deductible donation to the Quit Smoking Cigarettes Organization, because it would beyond the scope of the accountant’s duties.)

Please let me know if this interests you, as I am offering this name to everyone with a Pressure Washing Service.
