mmmcakeapparel on Dec 23 '06

Hello,

My name is Stephen Knight and I am a representative from MMM Cake Apparel looking for new artists for our t-shirt lines.

We specialize in making custom t-shirts, watches, wall clocks, belt buckles, dog tags, etc. We are very interested in your art work and would be interested in using some of your designs on our brand new clothing line coming out February 1st.

We sell all our items on ebay and only make the item as they sell. We want to offer you the opportunity for us to print your designs on our line of colored t-shirts, golf shirts, and camisoles with a $2 royalty paid to you monthly.

For an example of how much cash you can earn doing this look at this example case study:

Submit 6 t-shirt designs that are approved by our screeners that are listed every day. We have an average of 1:3 sales of all our products, so of those 6 designs 2 should sell on any given day, that's $60 a month.

If you submit 6 t-shirts a month you would make $60 the first month, $120 the second, $180 the third, etc.

And of course, the more designs you submit the more $$ you can make!

Royalties are for life, as long as you allow us to print your item we will continue to send you checks, even if you stop designing! And best of all, all t-shirts include the artists name directly under the Mmm Cake Apparel logo on the back!

If you have any questions or your interested in designing for us let us know by replying to this message, emailing us at mmmcakeapparel@gmail.com

You can contact me personally via aim at mmmcakeapparel or on msn at iwearmyseatbelt@hotmail.com

Thanks for your time and we're looking forward to hearing from you!!

- Stephen Knight
