Your writing is well written and down to earth.  It is good to know you come from a middle-class family.  Gives us hope.  You are a superb example of success.  Thus, with your eloquent writing and sharing your personal experiences, I am indebted to you for the advice and your friendship. Thanks for your friendship and continued help.  Perhaps someday I will know success.  Hopefully I will become a successful entrepreneur...  I will have you, partly, to thank for it.  :)

Just a quick note to let you know I appreciate the advise, tips, strategies, freebies, recommendations and insight you've provided to me over the last few months I've been on your list.

I don't know what it is exactly, but certain people I instinctively know I want to white list in my email account.  It's probably a combination of things - like not sending me three sales pitch messages a day (or even one a day, every darn day), or not getting the same message multiple times the same day because the sender doesn't use a duplicate remover software, or maybe its just the lack of hype.

Whatever it is, I white listed you soon after reading a message or two from you AND I also have archived most of your instructional messages for future reference.  Keep it up!
