If you insist.

From your email to me on 12/12/2007, titled as SPDINA'S IDEA:

Hi Tony,
 
I have been introduced to a very interesting multi-level marketing tea, called Holy tea.  This crap is expensive, but very powerful stuff.  My husband and I have been drinking it for a week now and we are both impressed!  First let me say, that my husband never likes anything and never feels like anything works, very frustrating for me.  Well he loves this tea, never misses a day of drinking it, says it makes him feel good. 
 
So, I decided that $50 for a 1-month supply is CRAZY....I know the ingredients and I just purchased about 5 lbs of these herbs and will be attempting to duplicate this recipe.  In total I spent about $50 for a years supply of tea....I'm sure you can see where I am going here.
 
There are a couple of knock offs already out there, the first is the original, I think:

Feel free to read up on all this and let me know what you think.
 
Your friend,

Here is what I want to do:
 
When I get all my herbs (I placed my order yesterday) I will mix you up a batch and mail it out to you guys so you can test it out and let me know what you think.  Over the Holiday I will try and come up with some marketing ideas to promote the tea and also how to package the tea for resale.  We can market the tea from your site and I will distribute the tea from my home address.  We can negotiate the profit shares.
 
Most of my herbs are coming from Mountain Rose Herbs, one herb from KT Botanicals and one from Dragon Herbarium.  I will be searching for a local supplier to avoid shipping costs!  In total for 5 lbs of herbs (including shipping) I spent $62.40, here is a rough draft of cost/profit:
 
each order will contain 2oz of mixed tea, a 2-month supply
 
wholesale $8.50, let's call it $10
retail $40
 
Per sale $10 for you $20 for me!
 
Keep in mind this variety of tea for a 1-month supply retails for $40-$50!

At the time, I thought you had a pretty good idea - of course that was before I realized just how much of a troublemaking drama queen you were and before I realized your callous disregard for the rules and decorum of CureZone. 

There is nothing wrong per se with what you wanted to do - but it quite clearly demonstrates a prior history of wanting to take someone else's formula and profit from it.

Like the boy who cried wolf, your history haunts you - and you have only yourself to blame.
