Press Release
SendBobToBerkeley.com Launched!
Bobby is a 20-year-old dude from Malaysia who just completed his A-Levels. He has gained admission into the University of California, Berkeley for Fall 2009. He thought he was going to win a scholarship from Khazanah Nasional, a Malaysian sovereign wealth fund - having qualified himself to the final 4th round with 4 other applicants from the thousands who applied. But he was proven wrong. He somehow blundered his most important last interview and was left stranded.
Being an international student, Bobby would have to pay close to $50,000 per year to study in UC Berkeley. Thus a 4 years university education would cost close to $200,000. Bobby's parents are willing to loan him $50,000 but the rest will have to come from his self initiative.
Bobby decided to embark on an Internet project to fundraise the remaining $150,000 in 30 days on a novelty advertising idea - selling virtual real estate as advertising space. Bobby has designed rows of properties such as office tower, bungalow houses and camping tents to suit different prospective business owners. Owners of these properties are free to '
renovate' (customize) the properties and to link to any webpage on the Internet.
The price of real estate starts from $50 per property for Camping Tents. Log on and join the sale of the virtual properties now before they run out!
