I am pleased to announce that member Bobby Hamilton of http://www.investigatemyhome.com/ has just made our 500,000th post (since launching this new message board on January 1, 2006).
Bobby wins:
$500 worth of www.nachi.org/now.htm books (when the new 2nd edition comes out next week).
$500,000 worth of annual membership renewals at InterNACHI (basically membership for life unless Bobby lives to be very old). No, you can’t give them away.
We’ll ship everything tomorrow except for the www.nachi.org/now.htm books which will ship end of next week. Contact Dominic to set up the HIP software. If you ever get a renewal notice in the mail, just scribble “500,000th post winner” on it and return it. Ben will email you with a username and password for lifetime access ppv training on www.NACHI.TV Contact Ben Garrison ben@frea.com if you want to use the $500 credit. Congrats again.
The more I read this the more I think you will want to reword this post for the benefit of the recipient.
I am not a tax lawyer, but your wording may have provided him with over a million dollars in taxable 2009 income. An award of $500,000 in 2009 to be applied toward…etc…etc…as opposed to “free membership for life” might have a different meaning to an IRS agent.
