Attention Cl User,

My name is Ryan Barnes, Chief executive officer of Craigslist. We have recently joined up with Apple for a one-time promotional event today, we are giving away no cost Apple iPads to randomly selected people who have submitted an advert on C-list. You have been selected as one of our newest winners for today. We randomly select numbers to match up with ads on Craigslist and your ad matched with our latest drawing.

We have partnered up with Apple to advertise their hottest product yet, the Apple iPad. Once yet again, we are operating this promotion for one-day only. All you need to do is CLICK HERE http://slim777.com/nqIa3ZG6xd to go to our site made for this promotion and enter your email to recieve yours for free. Simply make sure you enter your email so we can locate our records to guarantee that we have reserved one for you. That's it!

Congratulations on winning a free Apple iPad (valued at $800). In case you have any question or concerns, feel free to email me back. However, you should claim your free iPad first to ensure one will be set-aside for you before the deadline ends. We do understand that you may not receive this e-mail until after the deadline, but, we advise you check the web site and enter your email to see if we still have yours on hold, which we often-times do because others haven't claimed theirs in time.

Ryan Barnes
CEO, C-list</victim></cl>
