Happitec -- "We'll bring a smile to your computer"

Occupant
5 Hippo Vista
Rhinocerous, New Jersey  81818

Dear new employee,

Welcome to Happitec Corporation! As you know, the Happitec motto is "We'll
bring a smile to your computer." We aim to make people happy, and that 
includes our employees here at Happitec. You have already learned of the many
benefits we offer you! In turn, we expect you to make us happy by being a 
dedicated, responsible employee.

How do you make Happitec happy? No problem! We keep things rolling smoothly
simply by following the rules and regulations set down by our founder and
president, Leo J. Zereb. And to make sure you know every one of these rules 
and regulations, we're sending you to a special training seminar at Happitec
International Headquarters in Paris, France!

That's right, you're going on a two-week, all-expenses-paid trip to Paris,
courtesy of Happitec. You'll enjoy a six-day training seminar with experienced
Happitec staff members. Then you'll thrill to a full week of fun in the City 
of Lights! And that's not all! You'll also get $75 spending money! Does that
put a great big Happitec smile on your face, new employee?

The $75 money order is in the mail to your new home. To obtain your airline
ticket, simply take this letter to your travel agency. Then you're on your 
way to Paris! Be sure to be on time for your flight. We've found that new 
employees who miss the training seminar usually aren't very happy at Happitec.

See you at the office!

Happily yours,

Ollie Fassbaum
Manager
The Happitec Corporation



   << POPULAR PARANOIA MAGAZINE >>

Every month, Popular Paranoia gives you something new to worry about!

Entertainment: What you do on the weekend could kill you! Did you know that
students who exchange digital watches with multiple partners increase their
chances of contracting bubonic plague by 300% ? Find out how to protect
yourself.

Food: You won't be surprised to learn that YOGURT is the breeding ground for
most major diseases. We'll examine dented cans, unwashed bakery attendants,
lima beans, lard, salad bars, and a host of other potential hazards.

Surveillance: Government agencies use a veritable army of surveillance 
methods, many of them masquerading under the guise of public services. We'll
tell you how TRAFFIC HELICOPTERS follow your daily activities, phone taps 
monitor your conversations, and cable tv threatens your home privacy.

Medicine: Your child's teeth are only inches away from his brain. But have 
you ever considered what happens each time the dentist gives him a shot of
NOVOCAINE? We'll show you why it's wrong to trust doctors, medicines,
hospitals, and anything else that tries to tamper with your body.

How Do They Learn So Much About You? When you find your GARBAGE cans over-
turned and the plastic bags ripped open, you probably think some dog or 
raccoon has been sniffing out a snack. Well, think again. Your garbage 
contains personal information ranging from your bank and utility account 
numbers to your consumer preferences and private correspondence. We'll teach
you how to keep your garbage safe from prying eyes, including a rundown of 
alarm systems and incineration methods.

Lethal Chemicals From A to Z:We ingest dozens of chemicals daily in our air,
food, water, and personal products. Fluoride mottles our teeth, ASPARTAME
destroys valuable body fat, fluorocarbons ravage the ozone layer. This handy
tear-out guide will keep you on the alert.

American Gothic: A terrifying tour of the 50 states. Are you aware that OHIO
is the center of communist insurgency in the United States? Have you 
discovered that DELAWARE is a fiction invented by the Trilateral Commission 
for its own nefarious purposes? You'll learn the facts you need to know to 
combat the powers seeking to overwhelm you.

The Numbers Game: The number of letters in your name reveals more than you
imagine. People with 3 letters in their name bring good luck, since luck 
comes in threes. Those with 6 letters in their first, middle, and last names,
such as Daniel Miguel Ortega, Dwight Eugene Gooden, Johnny Herman Carson, and
Ronald Wilson Reagan, are a menace to all around them, since 666 is the
Number of the Beast. Learn what your name reveals in this upcoming feature.

Rooting Out Queen Mum: An exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at their leader,
the fiendish QUEEN MUM.

The Powerful NFL: A stunning expose of a powerful leftist organization. Did 
you know that an NFL game pre-empted the televised announcement of a 
coup d'etat directly after the Kennedy assassination? The coup was foiled, 
and decades of crypto-communist government ensued.

Insect Warfare: Mosquitoes injected with encephalitis virus, KILLER BEES
unleashed by vengeful Mexicanos, black widow eggs hidden in your junk mail.
South American insectologist Jose Santa Fe reveals the secrets of insect
warfare and tells you how to protect yourself.

They're On Your Trail: AUTOMATIC TELLER MACHINES are but one method banks use
to track and control American citizens. They've made you dependent on them. 
You can break free! Find out everything you need to know about home safes, 
full cash purchases, printing your own checks, and more.

Goodbye, Sonny: The GI BILL gave veterans the chance to go away to college and
