This is no complain t or adverse comment. Kindly let me know the sweepstakes date if any in October 2009.
I have also been participating in the so called 'sweepstakes' for the past two years. I have received a very important 'DmDocuRelease ' envelope which I am planning to send tomorrow.This envelope also holds a very expensive "CARROT" before the "MULE" (the carrot being a set of DVDs of the National Parks of the World, and the MULE, of course is --MYSELF). I wonder whether I should say 'YES' to this offer.
As usual, like all the 24 and odd months, a flyer for a ToyotaCorolla Altis car is also included.
Perhaps RD need not have indulged in such cheap gimmicks just for the marketing of their publications which are undoubtedly of a very high quality.
I am not sure as Even since last 1 year I have gone for n no of subscriptions regularly we are alive on hopes so lets hope for the best
i realy like that digest
i thankfull to you for this favour
I really like reading RD, but unfortunately my complaint is the same as everyone else.

Reader's Digest — 3 free gifts.

I just got my first reader digest magazine in the mail, along with a small card that said I should go to the web site for my 3 free gift, but alas there is no web site. It sent me directly to the better business in Ill, whats going on?
