RE: Business Opportunity Rule, R511993 To Whom it may concern, I am writing this letter because I am concerned about the proposed Business Oportunity Rule R511993. I believe that in its present form, it could prevent me from continuing as an Independent Sunrider Distributor. I understand that part of the FTC's responsibility is to protect the public from "unfair and deceptive acts or practices", but some of the sections in the proposed rule will make it very difficult if not impossible for me to sell Sunrider Products. One of the most confusing and burdensome sections of the proposed rule is the seven-day waiting period to enroll new Distributor. Sunrider Starter Pack Cost $140-, and is not a mandatory purchase in order to become an Independant Sunrider Distributor.; People buy TV's, cars, & other items that cost much morethan that & they do not have to wait seven days. This waiting period gives the impression that there might be something wrong with the plan. I also think this seven-day waiting period is unnecessary because Sunrider already has a generous 60 day return policy for existing Distributors. I have been an Independant Sunrider Distributor for more than 12 years. Originally, I became a Distributor of Sunrider's products because I like them & wanted to earn some additional income. Now my family depends on this extra income to supplement our budget. I do appreciate you taking the time to concern not passing this bill. I believe this propsed new rule has many unintended consequences. Thank you for your time and considering my comments. Sincerely, Terese Benzie
