My reply...

Dear Joanne,

I have a friend that has a similar offer for you.
He would like you to come over and sleep with him.
He's going to try and get it on with over 100 women.
Whomever is the best in bed will be taken out for a cheap dinner.

The difference between my offer and yours is that I'm telling you flat out that you will be getting screwed before you consider it.

Be sure to let me know if you are interested.
Thanks.

Ronnie
