We hope to have the book completed by the end of July 2008, so we can promote it for Christmas 2008. We are asking for you to donate no more than two hours of your time for a photo shoot.
We will be shooting both in Los Angeles and New York. In New York, we will be able to accommodate any individual schedule, except when we are in Los Angeles.
We will schedule shoots in Los Angeles for those who will not find themselves in New York any time soon. We will most likely spend a week to two weeks at a time on the West Coast to complete the shoots. We will gather a list of available times for those on the West Coast, and schedule the shoots for the weeks that seem to match most people's availability.
Angels for Little Angels will be heavily promoted through radio and television talk shows, as well as magazine and newspaper reviews. Naturally, the more people we can get to shoot for the book, the more attention the book will draw, and the more we can donate to the Children's Organizations. John and Kirsten will be promoting the book. However, if you would like to promote the book as well, it would create a media frenzy.
I know this project is quirky, unusual at best. We are just asking the people who generate the most attention to give us just one hour within the next year and a half, and to bring their sense of humors with them.
You see, with your cooperation, the proceeds that will go to our Children's Relief Fund have a potential of being enormous. I know it's a different concept that we are asking people to grasp. Here's the crux of it. A book project like this will help attract and highlight all the organizations and their efforts to feed starving children around the globe, but mostly here in the U.S. Books that make the best seller's list also sell in the millions. A million books sold would give these charities millions of dollars to help the 25% of the children in the United States who are in danger of going hungry each night. That's right. One out of every four children go hungry in the United States, one of the richest nations in the world. Isn't that a sin? That is why this project is so important. We were not exaggerating when we stated that this book idea could help put an end to starving children in the United States. We are not going to give up until we have contributed significantly to this cause. Each month, we are going to issue press releases all over the world, stating the amount of money the book has generated for our selected charities to date, so that it will always be in the forefront, and it will always be considered a current issue.
Your participation will make such a difference in this project, and in millions of children's lives. Your money donated directly to a project, I'm certain, will always do a bit of good. When do you have an opportunity to donate your time or your money where you can actually see the direct results from your efforts? Also, even if your donations range in the millions, do you see, for instance, a cure for cancer come out of it? Or a cure for AIDS? This is a project where you will be able to see all the good that comes out of it, and the millions of lives you have impacted.
Don't get us wrong. We have a lot of people interested in shooting for the project. You can be personally responsible for making a difference in millions of children's lives without donating one cent. Each individual counts in this project, because each person may draw another fan that will buy the book only because you are in it. This is how much power you have.
According to The Writer's and Photographer's Guide to Global Markets by Michael Sedge, anyone in the spotlight in the U.S. is an extremely popular topic and will sell well overseas. We are going after the global market, which will also help to increase your audience worldwide. Imagine how many families we can feed once we let this book loose on the global marketplace.
Nitehawk Publishing will also share their promotion expertise to assist the different charities in selling the books themselves through mail order. If we provide the books to them at a discount, and help them in a mailing campaign, this will provide even more opportunities for them to raise money.
I know you don't know us, but I can assure you that our intentions are sincere. We are hoping that you will agree to help us lead the way to changing the way people think. Admittedly, before we thought of this project, I would often think that it's too bad I can't do more to help people in need. It is very easy to feel that the most you can do is help only a few people at a time, and that if everyone felt like this, the world would be a better place. I know that most people feel they only have time for their little universe and family unit, and that is all the good they have time to do. You could help us show people that if a large amount of people gave just a little effort, just cared a little more, say for only an hour in an entire year, that the world can and will be a better place to live.
Through our combined efforts, we have the potential to donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to these children's charities, which translate into positive publicity for all involved, not to mention the countless number of children starving right in our backyards we will help. The most important thing is that you will be recognized as a donor to one of the largest collective efforts ever to end starvation in the United States! We really have a chance to show people the power of helping others, and what happens when many communities, the corporate community, the acting and artistic communities, combine their efforts for one cause.
We are looking forward to your reply. Thank you for your consideration, and please let us know if we can provide you with any more materials or answer any of your questions.
