Seven-Elven sends you to Bora Bora
"That Hectic Schedule Pays Off
You're pretty busy, aren't you? In fact, darn
busy? Too busy to take a vacation sometimes, I'd guess. Well, 7-Eleven is looking for the busiest person in America. All you have to do is prove you have the most hectic schedule in the U.S., and you and a friend will be flown to Bora Bora, where a stay at the Bora Bora Lagoon Resort will help you forget all about your work. All you have to do is turn in a page from your Day-Timer that shows one of your typically busy days and write a convincing paragraph explainingwhile your life is a 20 car pileup. Go to the convencience stores web-site for detals at www.7-Eleven.com
The contest ends September 1 with the winner revealed a month later."
