Greetings,

     This is Gilgamesh, the sysop of The Devil's Doorknob (410)442-1601, I 
am sending you this notice in an effort to increase donations to the BBS. 
As you probably know, the starting security level for a validated user is 
50. With that security level you get 125 minutes per day and 50 minutes 
per logon. When you donate your time per day increases, your time per logon 
increases, you get a boost to your post/call ratio and extra file credits.
     With money recieved from donations I will be able to many things,
depending on the amount recieved: Purchase a high speed modem, register 
on-line games for increased playability, and get my CD-ROM fixed (or a new 
one) and purchase CDs with gigs of files for you to download.
     This board can only be as good as the users make it, if everyone were 
to donate $5.00, with roundabout 200 users that would be $1,000.00 which 
would be enough to do everything needed. This board needs your support.

  1.00 - 1 point SL raise, 10 additional minutes per logon/per day, 5 extra
           posts on your ratio, 20 extra k towards files.
  5.00 - 5 points SL raise, 30 addtional minutes per day, 10 per logon, 15
           extra posts on your ratio, 200 extra k towards files.
10.00 - 10 points SL raise, 50 additional minutes per day, 20 per logon, 30
           extra posts on your ratio, 500 extra k towards files.
20.00 - 20 points SL raise, 60 additional minutes per day, 40 per logon, 50
           extra potst on your ratio, 1 extra meg. towards files.

For any other amount that I haven't listed the figures will be adjusted in a
mathematically fair way.

Enclosed is a self-addressed envelope, if you wish to donate please enclose
cash, check, or money order, payable to Sharon Ryan. If you choose to donate
please include a note with your alias on it so I can credit your account as 
the user listings are brought up by alias and user number, not real name. 

Thank you for your support.
                    ---Gilgamesh.
