Yes, we have been nominated for "something" by some committee for some reason. We have been invited to the Presidential Dinner on June something! We have a pre-recorded message for you to listen to, regarding this something.
"How much will this cost my business?"
Sir, you will recieve 2 free invitations to the dinner, 2 free tickets for some sunset cruise celebration, 2 free tickets for some after party, room for 2 at some hotel, 2 free gift baskets filled with some things, a photo opportunity with some political "movers and shakers!"
"Yes, but how much will all these "free" delightful opportunities cost my business?"
Sir, if you would listen to this exciting pre-recorded message, I will come back on the line and discuss the "contributions."
"How much of a contribution will be required for this event?"
A $5,000.00 contribution will be required.
"Could we bring a casserole or something to offset this contribution? Do you need some help in the kitchen? Perhaps you have a table for 2 somewhere in the balcony, say about $50.00 contribution? I am not even sure $5,000.00 will cover the gas to get there...."
"Ah, democracy......Thanks for the nomination, your vested interest in what we do here, at this time I will have to decline your gracious offer. If the Senator or President would like some advice on retirement planning please have them call!......I am currently hiring............"
