    I think this must be a recent innovation. Did you get the email today? I think this sounds like a seasonal offer.

    Hahaha!!

    How do I earn even more Money?

    If you are finding it financially difficult to bring up your baby or just want to free up your time we can offer a full adoption service, placing your baby with suitable parents which we will source on your behalf. We will give you up to £1,000 for your baby and we will ensure that your child is suitably looked after. For example, we will give the new parent(s) a laptop with some parenting advice websites pre-loaded. In return, for insisting that the child should leave school at 16 to work in our business, we guarantee 10 years of employment at minimum wage. Email your name and email address to our team of experts who will contact you with a date for your home visit. [EMAIL="PutYourBabyToWork@laptopsdirect.co.uk"]Click here[/EMAIL] to email us. For more information or press enquiries please [EMAIL="PutYourBabyToWork@laptopsdirect.co.uk"]click here[/EMAIL] to contact us.
