Dear Mr….,

I would never intentionally shortchange you or anyone for that matter but it appears that the postal service did not care for my being 3 cents short on the letter I mailed to you some time back which I have enclosed. It was only very recent that I decided to get a post office box in an effort not to get boxed in. I had a sense that something had got hung up in the mail and decided to clear up some loose ends before following up with you. Untangling these knots required a little thinking outside of the box.

I only found out this past Saturday of my errant ways. The last thing I want though is be eaten by the ants before I can possibly help folks like yourself put pen to paper. My expertise though is more along the lines of getting your story in to the “wright hands” [sic] making certain that not only are your words not lost by editors and their marketing departments trying to make their often conflicting ends meet, but more importantly, that your reach the audience who could most benefit from your escapades. I have taken the liberty of including a story recently written by my nine-year-old “step-son” which received no editing. Although I am not married to his mother I have known “my Jonathan” since he was 18 months and he and his sister who is now thirteen and still a teenager continue to be one step ahead of me.

I have also included a recent article that appeared in Forbes Magazine. This subject of “Hot Water” will likely place the impending stock market collapse in its rightful perspective. I believe even if the stock market was to collapse to zero it would likely be a none event compared to the world water crisis, which will soon debut on California’s shores.

Insofar as the “stock market crisis” is concerned back on July 23^rd I sent an email to the Fox Network that touched on this subject matter, also enclosed. I copied a few friends and colleagues on my take of what is now needed. The reaction was remarkably positive although there was a deafening silence amongst those folks who apparently remain fully vested in this casino without any stakes in the daily take to mention little of folks who have already pulled out steak loads from a beastly man-made water-real estate crisis.

I subscribe to the notion that we should be our own managers from the get-go, hence the title of a “manuscript” I have been putting together, Manager Minute One, a takeoff of the business book bestseller, One Minute Manager. Again, I have yet to publish much material myself certainly I haven’t had anyone pay me to write. Nor would I expect you to pay me a dime until I was able to show you more about what I am all about and how I could best serve your needs.

With all that said I would still very much look forward to meeting with you at your convenience. I can also be reached by cell phone, 858-SEL-NEXT.

Sincerely yours,
