Here’s a free trip to the land where your ancestors were caught, and enslaved. Feel free to hunt down the descendants of their captors, and settle the old family score by whatever means you choose.
Come on back when you’ve got it all outta your system. If you survive, that is.
Oh, and another thing...
Your choice is between this offer and NOTHING, and only for a limited time.
