Hello,
I live over at Riverside on the James and have received two packages addressed to:
CESCA Janice Witherspoon
M/F Urban Views Weekly
These are from Simon and Schuster.
A few weeks back, I received two others like this, and put them back in the mail with the message ‘Does not live here.’ Since I have received two more, I figured I would reach out and try to pass these to the correct person.
Please email me at jduresky@gmail.com and we can arrange a time to pass these along.
Thanks,
Jeff Duresky

Hello,
I think that might be interesting for you. I am a professional creator and developer of user accounts on Twitter.
Would you like to extend the reach? Would you like to promote your products and services directly to a target audience?
At the moment, interaction between the companies and their potential and existing customers is carried out through social media.
I offer two types of services:
1) Creation and promotion of the Twitter-channel for your website urbanviewsweekly.com: addendum of active followers (friends) in an amount not less than 1500, who will retweet(display in their Twitters) almost all of your tweets(messages), giving the channel a status of “Top”.
What gives the status “Top”? All your tweets will have an advantage in the search upon requests on the topic of your website and will be shown in the status of “Top”, and not in the general search which has the status “All” as occurs with ordinary channels. Your twitter will be recommended to add as friend to other users of twitter system with similar interests including those from your region.
Since the format of Twitter implies just short messages with further obtaining of complete information after the following of links – this is a great opportunity of attraction a new audience to your website and new customers.
Cost of the service – $ 70.
2) Placement of links of your website on 500 high quality twitter accounts. Placing will positively impact on the position of your site in Google. Here are a few of words about it – specialists from “SEOMoz magazine” analyzed more than 10.217 different search queries in Google search system and were able to identify the dependence in the preference of those sites whose accounts have links from social media!
Also there were conducted a dozens of experiments which revealed a positive effect of links from social media and in particular positive effect of Twitter to the position of the site, which is supported by a statement of technical engineer Matt Cuts about the fact that Google takes into account the links from social media like Twitter and Facebook in determining of the site positions in search.
So, if you want your site to be on the top in a search, it is necessary to have quality links from Twitter and other social media.
Cost of the service – $ 50.
If you have any questions – please send them. I will try to answer them in the very nearest time.
I work without prepayment. Payment goes after all the work is done and the report is sent. If you order multiple services – I will make a discount!
If you are not interested in this letter I’m sorry to bother you! Have a good day!
Sincerely,
Nick Grey
