How to Avoid A Jewelry Disaster...

If you were subscribed to our website, Newsletters, Courses or Reports you would have received a copy of the email written below. We thought it was so important that we have once again reproduced it here on our Blog, together with a few replies we received at the time.

The Katrina Hurricane in the Gulf ranks right up there with the very worst of Natural (or human) disasters.

This article was written within a few hours of the News hitting the airways.

Please feel free to add any comments....

G'day folks and many thanks for taking the time to read this long email.

As a past and valued client with Patricia and myself through one of our Jewelry websites, we wanted to send out this special message to you all.

If you had read the blurb on our Jewelry Appraisal web, you will have remembered where I mentioned being 'The Victim of Loss' and how we all tend to put it off until it's too late.

It is something I am *VERY* passionate about as I have seen first hand just how much it can effect everyone - nobody is immune.

And that brings us back to the purpose of this email. The Hurricane disaster.

These poor people in the Gulf States have become victims of loss on a HUGE scale.

• They have lost their Homes....
• They have lost their jobs - income - places to work....
• They have lost family members - pets - friends....

And they have lost the small personal things in life they can't replace.

• Family Photographs....
• Birth and Wedding Certificates....
• Treasured Jewelry....

*Just think about that for a moment.*

• Family Photographs....
• Birth and Wedding Certificates....
• Treasured Jewelry....

Everything's gone.

They have become the worst case of 'Victims of Loss' we can possibly imagine.

We have to do something to help. Now. TODAY!

• But how? (I can almost hear you thinking).
• But what can we do.
• We are so far away.

Please think about this for a moment longer. Think how lucky we all are.

Try to imagine what they must be going through - right now - while you're eating your Breakfast - while you're in work - Having a Night out with your family or friends.

Hard, isn't it?

The first thing we can all do is donate. That helps relieve the pain today.

But we need to do more - for tomorrow - for everyone else.

So what I'm suggesting is a two step method. The first gets cash into the hands of the people who need it - The second (I hope) prevents YOUR family and friends from suffering in the same way by being prepared - By NOT becoming the 'Victim of Loss' in the future.

Patricia and I want to donate (just like you) but maybe - just maybe, we can all do a little more.

BUT THE IMPORTANT PART IS YOUR CONTRIBUTION - and I don't mean money either.

We are asking you to tell your workmates, your family, your friends how they can prevent becoming the 'Victim of Loss' by getting their appraisal done right now - before it's too late.

You see, even some of the victims down in New Orleans had personal Jewelry. Heck some of them may even of had an up-to-date Appraisal Certificate locked in their bedroom drawer.

Guess where that piece of paper is now?

It's gone, along with the jewelry and personal possessions. The gold and silver and diamonds are lost in the mud. That physical appraisal is not worth the paper it WAS written on.

That's why I often stress the benefit of doing your Jewelry Appraisals Online!

No matter what happens (and it's already happened to many) your treasured details are safely locked in our database which you can access 24/7 from anywhere in the world.

• In short - you will be able to replace your personal Jewelry exactly!
• No guesswork (I think it was 14ct).
• No second best (I'm sure it was a Diamond - but maybe not?)
• No short measure (my wife's chain was longer than that).

So our message is this....

Do it Now before it's too late....
Tell a friend - tell your neighbor and be thankful you still have one.

The small amount of money donated is just for today.
Your recommendations to others, is for tomorrow. Spread the word.
Pass it on....

As usual; take care and watch the road.
David and Patricia
