"SOMETHING WONDERFUL IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN TO YOUR PHONE LINE.

"Now there's a fiber optic long-distance service that helps you save
forests, animals, rivers and children -- just by talking on the
telephone.

"The wonderful thing is that you won't pay a penny more.

"WHAT MUST WE DO TO MAKE OUR WORLD A SAFER, CLEANER, MORE CARING
PLACE?

"At the very least, we must give to the Earth as much as we take.

"That's why Working Assets is proud to offer the first long-distance
phone service that works for peace, human rights, economic justice and
a safer environment -- at no cost to you.

"Here's how it works: Every time you call long-distance, we give one
percent of your charges to non-profit groups working to clean up toxic
wastes, preserve rainforests, feed the hungry and more. The more you
talk, the more we give. (See back page for groups we've funded in the
past.)

"Why does Working Assets do this? Because we know that time is short.
That unless citizens and businesses act now, irreparable harm will be
done and countless living beings will be lost.

"We also do this because we're innovators. Four years ago we
introduced the Working Assets Visa Card--the only credit card that
works for peace, human rights and the environment every time it's
used. Since 1986, Working Assets cardholders and long-distance users
have generated over $700,000 for non-profit groups like Amnesty
International, Earth Day 1990, Rainforest Action Network and Oxfam
America.

"Now we're turning your telephone line into another convenient,
cost-free tool for change.

"HOW OUR LONG DISTANCE SERVICE WORKS

"Working Assets uses the all-new fiber-optic network of US Sprint -- and
adds our own unique commitment to the future of our world.

"That means you get the same low rates and high quality service all US
Sprint customers get. Including 24-hour operator services and the
pin-drop quality sound US Sprint is famous for.

"It also means that if you switch from AT&T's basic residential
service, you'll save money on every interstate call.

"To get you started, we'll give you a credit equal to 30 free minutes,
and a free calling card. (See back page for details.)

"NOW, MAKING A DIFFERENCE IS NOT ONLY COST-FREE, IT'S ABSURDLY EASY.

"There's absolutely nothing to lose. And signing up couldn't be
simpler. Just fill out the card below or dial 1-800-669-8585. That's
all.

"We'll hook you up with no intrusion or interruption. Then, every time
you call long distance, you'll help save a species or two.

"Possibly even our own."
