It works very well.

I see where your going with this. I'll take all this kind of suggestion and do a tweak session after they pile up.

Here I have to flat out disagree. This format is designed so that every word can be read, only bullets can be read, only highlighted sections can be read... so that if someone just skims it they will skim to the important selling points.

It also breaks up the copy so that it's chunked down for people to read. It's kind of like how it might be hard for an out of shape guy to run a mile on a track, but not if you run next to him and keep telling him to get to the end of the block.

P.S You'll be hard pressed to give me copy writing lessons. I have spent at least $40,000 in multiple training courses on it. I have a swipe file of over 200 letters and 500 different ads that I have meticulously collected over the last 3 years. I was recently invited to guest speak at K. Hafner's marketing bootcamp as a copy writer. AND I have personally made over 1/2 a million dollars off my sales letters in the last 3 years.

As a matter of fact, I'll attach my 16 page letter for my school that has a running 32% response rate. THIRTY TWO percent. Do you realize how insanely high that is?! Muahahahaa.

(make sure you open as word document)
