Hall of Classics>THANK YOU!!!! ( & Whoo Hooo, Some unbelievable luck!!!!!)
JOhn 02:33 PM 12-23-2003
I think I need to thank someone on here for entering my name in a free computer drawing, I think.

Apparently someone on here, or maybe some other person on the net entered my name to win a free computer to help me with my college work. Because last night when we got home from Billings, MT I found a large box sitting on my front porch, delivered via UPS. There was a letter attached to the box that read as follows:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Mr Edwards, your name was submitted on-line to us ( Compaq ) to be entered in a free drawing for one of the new computer's we are giving away this holiday season, for educational purposes. And in our recent drawing your name was drawn to WIN!! You are now the proud owner of a new Compaq Presario. The following person(s) submitted your name and a short letter telling why you should be considered for this gift. You can thank ____(A_fellow_CHIEFS_Fan)_____ for your new computer from Compaq. Congratulations & good luck in pursuing your education.

So to whomever submitted my name, THANK YOU.

This Christmas season has renewed my faith in my fellow man. Between this and a few other things I have received this year from other members here on CHIEFS PLANET, who wish to remain unmentioned by name, this is truly a wonderful Christmas.

THANK YOU ALL, AND MERRY CHRISTMAS. ALL of you will be in our prayers & thanks for a long time. And may the joy you have given to me & my family be repaid to you & yours many times over.

Whoever did it, I really wish you would contact me, so I can personally thank you. :-)

But if you wish to remain anonymous, I can respect that.

I'm still blown away that someone would do this, and really am at a loss for words other than THANK YOU!!!!!

And to whomever did this thing, God bless you and yours.

I know, I was typing that in, and went to spellcheck it and realized I hadn't D/L the program. :-) I KNEW someone would call it out.

I am very happy, and shocked.

But being human, I think, always will wonder who it was. But I will not let the uncertainty distract from my heartfelt thanks, and joy.

To whoever it was that did this for JOhn:

Please enter my name in the "sex with Heidi Klumm" drawing.

Thank you!

Seriously though, awesome story. Merry Christmas to you and whoever did it.

I'm thinking back about all the things I've used JOhn's name for, but I don't remember the computer drawing. I've used his name for Viagra purchases, internet porn registrations, price inquiries on cell phone plans, my purchase of a manhood enhancer pump, my OrangeMane account, and illegal software purchase sites, but I don't remember a computer drawing.
