			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know that in these tough times we all need to do everything possible to promote our businesses, but it is critical that any <strong>promotional activities are honest and are NOT misleading</strong>.</p>
<p>Recently I received a <em><strong>&#8220;supposedly handwritten sales letter&#8221;</strong></em> from a local online business directory. At first I thought, this guy has very neat handwriting, but then I looked closer and realised by comparing the same word on two diferent pages over a lamp, that it was just a downloaded font. I suppose the fact that he didn&#8217;t even bother to personalise the letter should have been a hint.<em><em></p>
<div id="attachment_474" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 226px"><em><a href="http://blog.glasgorman.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/HandwrittenSalesLetter2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-474 " style="border: 1px solid black;" title="HandwrittenSalesLetter" src="http://blog.glasgorman.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/HandwrittenSalesLetter2-216x300.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="300" /></a></em><p class="wp-caption-text">Handwritted    Letter - NOT</p></div>
<p></em></em></p>
<p>To see the actual letter click on the image. Here is the first paragraph;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>I just got this very impulsive idea&#8230; I had to jump on it and print this handwritten note before i had a chance to get it typed and think it all out clearly, So &#8230;Before I change my mind &#8211; I want to make you this &#8220;UNBELIEVABLE OFFER&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong>For me, if they are not being honest about handwriting a letter, then what else are they not being honest about?</strong> As to their service, check out this post about <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://blog.glasgorman.com/2010/01/do-local-online-business-directories-deliver-value-for-money/">Local </a></strong></span><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://blog.glasgorman.com/2010/01/do-local-online-business-directories-deliver-value-for-money/">Online Business Directories</a></span>.</strong></em></p>
