Here's a chance you don't get every day. Rather than try
to paraphrase, I'll just quote the letter I got:

--------- cut here for quoted letter --------

Dear Friend & Supporter of
Golden Gate Railroad Museum:

	Here's your chance to win a free 3 day, 2 night weekend trip for two
($1500 value) on a beautifully refurbished 1921 luxury railcar. Be one of eight (*)
pampered guests travelling on the "Los Angeles" (**) a vintage businesscar that once
carried public dignitaries and celebrities throughout California. The Los Angeles
is not just any businesscar. Featuring a full kitchen, dining room, and stateroom,
it offers all of the elegance and comfort of grand lux service. On board an
attendant and private chef will provide you with all amenities reminiscent of
authentic, turn of the century rail travel.

	This great opportunity can be _yours_ this November when the Golden Gate
Railroad Museum (formerly Project 2472) holds its annual raffle to benefit the
continuing restoration and preservation of the museum's vintage railcars.

	On Friday, November 15, 1991 the Los Angeles, as part of an Amtrak train
will leave the Oakland terminal, and arrive in Reno (The Biggest Little City in the
World) where entertainment and excitement abounds. Upon arrival, the _lucky_
_two_ will be chauffeured to the Flamingo Hilton for a fun-filled two-night stay.
Sunday afternoon the Los Angeles will depart for its journey back to Oakland.

	Here's how you and a guest can be the "lucky two" on board for an u
unforgettable journey:

	Just tear off the stubs from your "winning ticket(s)" and send them with
a check for the # of tickets purchased, made payable to the: Golden Gate
Railroad Museum. Ticket donations are only $2.00 a ticket or (12) tickets for
$20.00. If you would like to purchase additioanl tickets, you may do so by
calling the Golden Gate Railroad Museum at (415) 363-2472. Due to the high
demand for tickets, the drawing date has been extended to November 4, 1991.
You need not be present to win, Winners will be notified.

Sincerely,
Michael J. Mangini
Golden Gate Railroad Museum

 * The other 6 seats are being sold directly
** In the event the Los Angeles is not available, the elegant Houston
   businesscar will be substituted.

	Okay, so you can get them from the museum, _or_ you can drop by and
I'll sell you one of the tickets they sent me. I'll even be a sport and
send the money and stubs in for you, saving you a stamp. Or, if you don't
trust me, you can mail it in yourself. I don't have enough tickets for the
discount rate, so _real_ big spenders will have to contact the museum directly.
