Thirdly, Let me say that it has been frustrating and stressful for me the last couple months running these promos, and I will tell you why. I took over the Marketing department last November - a position that was run 'by-committee' for several years. Since that time I have introduced an entirely new marketing and promotional program - with one component being aggressive monthly board promotions.

As you may or may not know, we are a very large company with offices in a couple different continents and hundreds of employees worldwide. The Python and Dollarmachine programs are just two of the programs that we are responsible for. The accounting department is particularly busy - they handle literally thousands of webmaster payments every single week for dozens of companies.

It has been an adjustment for them to meet the cash-flow demands that I impose on top of webmaster payouts. The reality is that webmaster payouts for sign-ups take priority over all other payments, and for the past month or so because of the growth of several of our brands, we have had a very large increase in webmaster payouts.

It has been frustrating for me because obviously I have obligations to the people who participate in our promotions - on the other hand, the reason I run promotions and market the brands is to increase our daily sign-ups. So, somewhat ironically, the success of the marketing efforts has led to the problems I am having in meeting the promotional obligations in a timely manner.

My goal is to make each promotion better than the last by improving in the areas where I was deifcient. Going forward, my 'exit strategy' will be more thoroughly coordinated with the accounting department to lessen the delay in paying out the winners.

In closing let me say that I apparently have horrible timing when it comes to vacations Also, let me reassure you again that there is a 100% probability of you being paid your winnings - please bear with me - I have no doubt in the fact that we will work together in the future and that is not a factor in the delay.

To anyone out there who is waiting on promo winnings from us - please accept my personal apology, and know that I am working on getting that cash in your hands as soon as I possibly can.
sounds legit to me
