Date: July 1, 2007
From: Cindi Dawson
I Just Want To Help
Dear friend,
You know that feeling in the pit of your stomach when you're in bed,
totally asleep, and suddenly the phone rings? You look at the clock
4:17 am you think, "I hope this is a wrong number because no one would
be calling at this hour unless it was bad news."
It wasn't a wrong number.
It was my sister "Just wanted to let you know don't worry she's
stable now heart attack resting comfortably Daddy is hanging in there
a few more days in the hospital for observation probability of
open-heart surgery"
My heart was pounding, my breathing was erratic, sort of dizzy,
trying not to cry, trying to listen and think ahead at the same time I
was so confused I kept asking, "What?" I've never been that afraid.
When I finally hung up the phone, a kind of numbness came over me. I
wanted to cry but I couldn't. No chance of going back to sleep. So
many thoughts racing through my mind. So many questions. So much
unfinished business. Memories, plans, unanswered questions. But at
least for the time being, my mother was stable.
But the questions didn't stop. What should I do now? Who could I
find to give me some straightforward answers? How could I help her and
my Dad in the months and years to come?
I needed answers NOW
Hi. My name is Cindi Dawson. You probably don't know me. But that's
all right because who I am is not as important as what I do.
Planning and research are two of my favorite things. If I don't know
WHY something happens, I search for an answer until I finally find it.
Sometimes this has been a little overbearing for my friends and family
but most of the time it has been more positive than negative. But what
does this have to do with you?
I'm a baby boomer who has aging parents just like you. And I care
about them just like you. I care about their safety. I care about
their health. I care about their longevity. I want them with me as
long as possible. And so do you. So when my phone rang in the middle
of the night, I wanted no, I NEEDED to know how I could help them.
Don't you feel the same way?
But as I started my research I realized several important things.
The answers I needed were in fragments one piece here, another answer
there a third website had a list of resources--more places to explore
and learn. The more I searched, the larger the puzzle became.
If you're a baby boomer who has received a "wake-up call" and you
have been searching for answers, this has probably happened to you as
well. There is no "one" definitive source where you can find all the
information you need. Yes, I found some good resources--websites,
forums, newsletters, even organizations who could tell me bits and
pieces. But it took forever. And who has forever especially when
you're working against time?
So frustrating! When you want something, don't you want it NOW? Who
wants to search endlessly at place after place finding only crumbs?
Not me. I want everything conveniently packaged and easily accessible.
Don't you? If you've read enough and you're ready to get started,

Hi, Cindi.
I just listened to the first two parts of Our Aging Loved Ones.
It's amazing how much information you packed into each hour.
My mother-in-law has been living with my family for over 10 years
now and I was so glad to find your course. It has such insightful
information and wonderful tips. I wish this had been around ten years
ago.
Thank you so much for pulling all of this information together.
Many thanks,

Hi.
I've only listened to one of the teleseminars so far, but it was the
most helpful information I've found anywhere about this topic. So glad
I found this package of materials; it is all in one place and will
save me hours of research. Sheila R.

Where can you go to get information about:
Paying for long-term care, whether at home or in assisted living
DEALING WITH ALZHEIMER'S
A step-by-step guide for having "the conversation" with your
parents about their
future living arrangements
CAREGIVING FROM A DISTANCE
Coping with the anger, guilt, and other emotions of caregiving
COOPERATING WITH SIBLINGS
Maintaining your sanity
WHAT'S LEGAL AND WHAT'S NOT
Why can't someone just tell us what we need to know all in one place
at one time, and let us learn about it at our own pace?
Now you can
Out of this heart-wrenching situation with my mother and the
never-ending search for answers came Our Aging Loved Ones: Planning
for the Day We Hope Will Never Come, a 12-part series about eldercare
and caregiving, covering the 12 most popular topics related to taking
care of elderly loved ones.
But what makes this so special?
I realize that you may know some of these experts you may be on
their mailing lists and you may already know some (or even a lot)
about eldercare and caregiving. But let me explain.
You could do the research yourself--spend hours in front of the
computer, in the library, and in bookstores finding doctors, authors,
speakers, geriatric care managers, and senior financial planners to
tell you what you want to know.
You could read books, websites, subscribe to newsletters, listen to
talk shows, and run out of time before you got all the answers.
Or you could get everything in one place in one convenient format
Out of my own personal search to help my parents, I located 12 of
the world's foremost eldercare experts to pack all of this information
into one course. I wanted to save you and other baby boomers just like
us time and money in getting the answers we need.
I spent hours finding these exact people. Then I spoke with them at
length about what YOU wanted to know most about their areas of
expertise--the questions they were most frequently asked by people
just like you and me. Together we agreed on the questions they would
answer and the topic they would cover.
And I've gotta tell you. They did a GREAT job!
Here's just a brief list of some of the strategies and secrets they
shared with me on your behalf

But now I was faced with an incredible dilemma
When I originally decided to release these interviews, I was going
to offer them on CD so you could take them with you and listen to them
in your car on your way to and from work. But I realized that not
everyone listens to CD's. And, more importantly the cost. CD's would
have set the price at $497. But my conscience wouldn't allow me to do
that and neither would your budget.
So I decided to calculate from a different direction. I would charge
$29.95 per interview. That seemed entirely fair and reasonable. Since
every single one of these experts is extremely busy, $29.95 for one
hour of their time, one-on-one, was a tremendous bargain. But when I
calculated it out, the cost came to $359. Once again, I didn't want to
do that to you. That didn't seem fair either.
Instead I settled on $297. That was perfect--less than $25 per
interview and the information was still great. I could live with that
amount and feel good about the quality of the product.
But then I realized
If you're dealing with an elder parent and you're having to make
ends meet with medical expenses, living expenses, and maybe even hired
help, you shouldn't be expected to pay that much. And all of the
experts told me the same thing, "I want to get this information out
there... People need to know this... I just want to help."
So I knocked another $100 off of the price just to help you.
How can I afford to do this?
Well, along with all of the experts in this course, I, too, want to
share with you what I learned. And I would rather offer something to
help you plan for the day you hope will never come, without making you
wait. I decided to offer the course in downloadable format so you
could use the recordings as you wish. Listen to them directly from
your PC, burn them to CD, or even transfer them to your MP3 player and
learn as you drive, exercise, or lay in bed. At $197 you will have
everything available for immediate download. This way, I can sleep at
night knowing that I've given you the tools you need at an affordable
price.

The choice is yours
But I'm not stopping there. I know how much information is packed
into this course and just having the ability to listen at your own
pace, on your own schedule, your own way isn't enough.
Included with all 12 recordings, you will also receive:
Bonus #1
12 INDIVIDUAL TRANSCRIPTS--ONE FOR EACH INTERVIEW
Because we all learn differently, I've included the transcripts for
each interview. Print them out, write notes in the margins, highlight
key points, whatever works best for you. Put them in a notebook so you
can refer to them again and again.
Bonus #2
1 GINORMOUS TRANSCRIPT OF THE ENTIRE COURSE
Now, you might be wondering why you would want this if you already
have the 12 individual transcripts listed above. And I would agree
with your curiosity. Here's the reason. This file is not designed to
be printed out (although you could if you really wanted to). It's
designed to find exactly what you want to know about. Open the PDF
file, click on the binoculars icon at the top, and enter the key word
or phrase you are interested in to see every time it is mentioned. By
searching the entire course at once, you can find all references to
your topic and then listen to those interviews first, giving you the
quickest access to what you need to know. Sometimes time is of the
essence.
Now, I know you don't know me, as I said at the beginning of this
letter. But you know what I do that I'm a planner and a researcher.
But you're still taking my word for it that this course contains LOTS
of useful information. So I'll make this worth your while
the Guarantee
Purchase the course. Listen to the interviews, print out and follow
along in the transcripts. And if you don't feel that you learned
something, if the course isn't what you thought it would be, if for
any reason you are unhappy with the quality of it, send me a note and
I will gladly refund every penny of your purchase.
Why am I doing this? Because I want to get this information out to
you. Because I want you to be a happy customer. And because I want you
to know that I have your best interests at heart.
You have nothing to lose but all this knowledge and experience to
gain
Twelve of the world's eldercare experts are waiting to help you work
through one of the most challenging yet rewarding times of your life.
They know your fears. They know your frustrations. They want to see
you succeed in one of the most compassionate things you will ever do.
They care about you and I care about you so you can purchase with
confidence.
Dear Cindi, Thanks so much for putting together such a thorough
set of information about elder care. I can't tell you just how
important these subjects are for our family. My parents are into their
80's and still as active as can be, but little by little they are
slowing down. We're thankful for each day with them, but also worried
that something could happen any day. And as they get older, that worry
just continues to grow... Only someone who personally understands
those worries could put together all the resources you have gathered.
What a blessing to have all that wise advice in one package! I
especially love the search feature, so that we can find just the info
we want right when we need it. You truly thought of everything!
Thanks again for caring enough to put this program together and share
it with all of us. It's a tremendous blessing in our lives, and I know
it will bless many other families as well. All the best

A word of warning though
The price is so low that I can't guarantee it will stay where it is.
I can only guarantee this low price to the next 1,000 customers. And
since this is the first time this much information on eldercare has
been available in one place, there's no way to know how long this low
price will be available.
(Several corporations are asking about multiple copies for their
employees.)
So order today just to make sure you don't miss out. You have
absolutely no risk and everything to gain from this offer. I am taking
all the risk so you don't have to.
But remember I will only guarantee the low price to the next 1,000
buyers. So it would be a good idea to order now while you're here.
Just click the button below to Buy Now.

Don't put this off. If you leave now without buying, you may forget
about this and when your phone rings in the middle of the night or you
remember, whichever comes first the price may have gone up. So buy now
to avoid missing this valuable opportunity. Order now.
Once you've listened to the interviews and started implementing some
of the suggestions, I would love to hear from you. I want to hear
about your success, your hope, your new-found confidence in the
knowledge that you are prepared. Nothing can compare with the love you
have for your parents and aging loved ones. Feel free to share your
own story.
Warmest regards,
Cindi Dawson
P. S. This isn't a high pressure salesletter. I don't like them and
I don't think they work. I just want to remind you that this
information is going to help you and I've put my money behind that
promise. If you are not 100% satisfied with the quality of the
information in this course, let me know and your money will be happily
refunded. I just don't want you to be caught off guard like I was.
