Subject: Invitation - Grand Opening of Coffee to the People
My family is opening a new coffeehouse called Coffee to the People at 1206 Masonic Ave (& Haight St.) in the Haight-Ashbury. The grand opening runs July 23 - July 31. You are invited. This e-mail serves as a coupon for one free 12 oz. coffee. Just print it out and bring it to the celebration.
We are trying to get the word out around town, so please feel free to forward this message to whomever you think might be interested. The coupon is good for anyone who brings it in. We’re prepared to give away a lot of free coffee, so don’t worry about distributing it too liberally. Thanks.
More about the coffeehouse: Coffee to the People is bringing power to the people through coffee, serving only the highest quality organic coffees and teas. All of the coffee is fair trade certified, and a portion of the profits go to charities benefiting the environment and social and economic equality. The coffeehouse has free wireless Internet access, its own living room, and a library of interesting books to peruse.
(About this e-mail as a coupon: Offer expires 7/31/05. Limit one per person. Not good with any other offer.)
