RE: Business Opportunity Rule, R511993 Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing in response to the proposed New Business Opportunity Rule R511993. This rule, if not modified, will be a significant impediment and burden to the network marketing industry. I have been involved in Network Marketing for almost 15 years and it has made a tremendous improvement in my lifestyle. I am with a company called Shaklee who is one of the leaders in the health and nutrition industry in the US. I market nutritional products that have help a lot of people including myself have a much better quality of life. 5 years ago I was downsized and found it difficult to find a career at the level I was in my previous career and as a result took a position with a company paying me 30% less that my former occupation. As a result, I was forced to file Bankruptcy and almost lot a roof over my head. Then I found network marketing with Shaklee and my life has never been the same. Please reconsider Federal Trade Commission Business Opportunity Rule, R511993 Thanks for your time. Respectfully, Richard Cooper
