My friend asked me this hypothetical question.. "Will you take up a full-time cleaning-service job that pays $5000 per-month?"Then some ideas started to pop-up from this creative brain of mine.1.

At least for me."Hi is that Benny..""Yes...""Hi Benny, this is xxxx from xxxx. I have received your E-mail regarding bla bla bla..""I see.""Benny, I appreciate your reasons and I believe those …
He is handsome, tanned, and toned. He can get any woman he wants just by asking. He surely is successful with that expensive suit and mobile phone, and he is charismatic.
