Subject: [firstname]: Thanks for signing up!

Dear [firstname]

Thank-you for signing up to my short e-course on developing an entrepreneurial mindset.  Over the coming days I'm going to be sending you a LOT of information.  Be sure to check your inbox every day and mark my messages as important.  You might also want to set some time aside each day and act on the information they contain.

If you want to get a head start on all this, though, I've put together a no-holes-barred manual that will allow you to hit the ground running without delay.  You can read all about it here [link to sales page].

Of course, the big question is

PS. Tomorrow I'll highlight the biggest obstacle people face when deciding on an entrepreneurial lifestyle  and it's probably not what you think it is.  I'll explain more tomorrow; be sure to check your inbox then.
