It seems my time has also come:
after a "recognition- based" (as it was stated by the American Biographical Institute in their first letter I've got few months ago) first Award from ABI (see this article-http://tinyurl.com/5rhlnl), now they send me a "commercial offer"?

• pay us 250$ and we'll "assign" you also the Outstanding Professional Award (or any other award by my choice?).

NO WAY! thank you :)

P.S. here is what wikipedia knows about ABI

• New awards are continually created and marketed. Most awards are available for between US $195 and $495, payable by the recipient, depending on their level of prestige and the quality of the printing on the certificate and the material in the frame or mount.^[5] In 2005 the Institute awarded 200 "Man of the Year" awards at between $195 and $295 each.

hahaha, no way #2!
why should I BUY an Award from those guys? and I have a doubt if it still could be called Award, or it will be just a "certificate of payment performed" :(
