Dear GUY,

My name is Oron and I am the EmpirePoker VIP Club Manager.

I am pleased to congratulate you on qualifying for our exclusive "VIP
Affiliate Program"!

This exclusive VIP offer is a chance for you to earn more money by simply
referring other poker players to EmpirePoker.com

You probably already know many poker players, who would be excited to join
EmpirePoker.

How would you like to receive a % of all their winnings just for directing
them to us?

We will provide you at no cost with a unique code to track your players and
to receive your % from their profits.

Our Affiliate Program usually pays a maximum of 20%. However, I believe
that, as our very special and very important player, you deserve much more.

My proposal to you is an exclusive 25% as opposed to the regular 20% we
offer.

If you are ready to become a 'partner' with us at EmpirePoker.com, just
e-mail me your telephone number. I will personally get back to you to
finalize all the details, so you can start making money without any delay.

Alternatively, you can reach me via e-mail. My personal mailbox is:
(deleted)@ep.com

Hope to hear from you soon!

How can they offer a percentage of all their winnings? That just doesn't sound plausible to me.

The context seems like they're talking about rake but you'd think that the email would be proofread before sent out.

he is offering you to become an affiliate. its basically an a affiliate spam email. the affil. managers there get paid based on the revenues of their affiliates, so they are always trying to sign people up. i am pretty certain that is what this is, although the VIP part i have not hear of before. The player winnings part refers to MGR not actual winnings, they have never been big on proper terminology.

You can just reply to him and see what comes of it as well
