Lol today i got this email from SERIF the programn design and development company and i just thought to myself what bullshizzle.

Do you guys think i should buy it & do you think this is just another one of there emails trying to sell me something.



Dear Mr. lucas mccartney,

Here at Serif we take considerable care to ensure that loyal email subscribers like yourself are not overloaded with emails and only receive special offers likely to be of interest to you. Earlier this week we sent you an email announcing the launch of PagePlus X2 with an upgrade price of £49.95, however looking at the type of offers that have interested you in the past, that clearly wasn't the type of email you'd usually like to receive.

By way of an apology, we've decided to slash the price of our landmark award-winning DTP program, PagePlus 10, from its original list price of £99.95 to just £7.95*. That’s a massive saving of over £90 and PagePlus 10’s lowest ever price.

As an added incentive, Mr. lucas mccartney, if you order your copy of PagePlus 10 today we'll include the fantastic Resource CD completely free of charge!

We're sure this is the type of offer that you'll appreciate, and what's more if you take advantage of this exclusive opportunity before 5pm Monday 26th February 2007 will also waive our usual shipping & handling fee, giving you an even bigger saving.

Please note, this very special, time-limited offer is only available to a very select group of valued Serif email subscribers like yourself - it's not open to the general public and stocks are strictly limited, so make sure you reserve your copy now to avoid disappointment.

Exceptional Power, Exceptional Value

From outstanding greetings cards to high-impact business documents and professional Web sites, PagePlus 10 has something for everyone, as this praiseworthy quote from one of our beta-testers highlights;

'Just when you think you know something about desktop publishing, Serif comes up with yet another ground-breaking version of PagePlus: 10th release and brimming with easy-to-use features' (Frank Maltby, Belgium).

And take a look at what the press is saying:

'Serif's PagePlus 10 is uncluttered and simple to use but versatile and precise enough to create really good looking publications - and have fun doing it!'
Computer Buyer - September 2005

'Whether you want to create a brochure for a small business or local organisation, design a personal greetings or business card or even publish a book, Serif is one of the few products that can meet all your needs without breaking the bank.'
Computer Shopper - February 2005

'Whether you're a novice or a dab hand, this is for you.'
PC Plus - January 2005

'PagePlus remains one of the best value DTP packages available.'
PC Utilities - January 2005

Over 50,000 Serif customers have already upgraded to PagePlus 10, and all of them paid more than the amazing price of just £7.95 that you can you secure your copy for today!

The printed page has never been so flexible in its design.  PagePlus 10 now supports layers, so a page can be comprised of different layered sheets to help keep your work well organised.

PDF output also benefits from an enhancement allowing page-by-page downloading so that Web-published PDF’s are readable very quickly, with pages being downloaded one-by-one as required.

In a bid to aim for even higher customer satisfaction, PagePlus errors can now be reported to Serif Development via an automated submission process, just like Windows XP & Vista's built-in error reporting.

These are just a few of the improvements that help to make PagePlus 10 the desktop publishing program of choice. For just £7.95* you can get your hands on a superb Desktop Publishing package at its lowest ever price. Award-winning PagePlus 10 offers exceptional power, flexibility and value with all the features you need to produce first-class documents, so order your copy before it's too late.  That's right, you can get your hands on one of our best selling pieces of software plus the free Resource CD for the tiny price of just £7.95.
