    "Although the first five paragraphs of the email sound like the company
     is doing Simmons a favor, the sixth paragraph drops a bomb: his credit
     card will be charged $1,850 for the first year of the service and
     $1,350 every year after that. He'll be automatically enrolled into
     WebLock within a couple weeks unless he calls the company to opt-out.
     Well, that's one way to increase your conversion rates on cross
     selling customers."
