Fanatic for Flip Flops? Participate in the Great Flip Flop Exchange!

Are you getting exhilarated about summer? Do you have summer shopping on your mind? If you are ready to go out to your local Old Navy to purchase yourself a variety of flip-flops to match every color tank top that you own, hold off. The following letter is an exciting way to spunk up your summer, save you money on purchasing an assortment of flip-flops, and a good way to get energized about getting off your couch to visit your mailbox. I was mailed the exact letter last summer and was ready to throw it right in the garbage along with my junk mail, and then I read it again. I thought that the idea sounded very appealing, especially considering flip-flops are the current fad. Instead of tossing it, I thought that I would give it a try. After mailing out the one pair of flip-flops and sending out my six letters, I did receive eight pairs of flip-flops over the course of the summer. The letter that you send out can either be done via email or regular delivery mail. Although I did not receive the thirty-six pairs as stated in the letter, it was good enough to collect the eight pairs. By reading the following letter that I received in the mail, you may just be able to figure out how to start an exchange yourself! It would also be wonderful to get creative and make the exchange based on something else such as sunglasses, lip gloss, T-shirts, etc. I am unsure as to the origin of this letter, but it was sent to me by a close friend during the summer of 2006.

Flip Flop Exchange!

Please send a pair of new flip-flops to the person whose name is listed as number 1 below. Then move my name to the number 1 position and put your name in the number 2 position. Only your name and my name should appear on the list when you send your letters out. Send the form to 6 friends along with a blank copy, just as you received.

This is purely for summer fun! If you cannot do this, please let me know within the next week so that it will be fair to those participating. A large manila envelope will mail the flip-flops nicely. If everyone participates, you should receive 36 pairs of flip-flops for the price of one. Seldom does anyone drop out because we all love flip-flops!

Turnaround time is extremely fast since there are only two names on the list. You should receive your flip-flops within weeks of sending out the letters. Please don't spoil the fun, and remember to contact me if you do not wish to participate. Thank you and have fun with your new flip-flops!
