Email to Richard Fairbrass (Right Said Fred)
Dear Mr Fairbrass,
Run with me on this!
I think you should put forward Right Said for “Gay Funerals”. You conduct the service, and your brother plays the organ. After a few minutes of dutiful respect you pull off the cassock to reveal your muscles whilst your brother kicks in on the organ with “I’m too sexy”.
Granted, this service won’t have mass market appeal, but I’m sure you’ll get a few takers every year plus it’ll make big headlines.
Let me know your thoughts.
Kind regards,
Ross Taylor.

Letter to Weightlifting Scotland
Dear Sir,
This may be a very strange request, but please bear with me.
What training schedule would you suggest for a young man, starting from scratch, who had dreams of taking Gold for Scotland in a Weightlifting discipline at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games?
I very much look forward to hearing from you.

Letter to Geoff Boycott
Dear Mr Boycott (GLY),
It feels strange to be writing to a legend.
I was wondering if I could bother you with a few quick questions:
• What would happen if all government cash was removed from Cricket overnight?
• Could you lead the England team to glory in a coaching role?
• What is your true thoughts on 20/20?

Dear Peter,
It feels strange to be writing to a legend.
I was wondering if I could bother you with a few quick questions:
• What advice would you give a young man looking to get started in the Nightclub business?
• What’s next after Lap Dancing? Can the boundaries of the law be pushed more?
• What’s next for you?

Dear Cheryl,
Just a quick note to say that I had a dream where you cracked America via a successful Film Soundtrack. I wonder if this will come true?
Best of luck in your future endeavours.

Letter to Simon Cowell
Dear Mr. Cowell
I am writing to applaud your genius, which seems to grow exponentially from year to year. Not only do I see you as the puppet master behind the charts, but also you seem to carry the whole ITV network on your shoulders.
The money roles in through advertising, CD sales, online downloads, royalties and much, much more. You control the methods of production, distribution and gain – classic!
I noted in the papers that you were in contact with Jonathan Ross. This reminded me that JR used to interview all of the comedians from his agency on a regular basis, thereby gaining on two fronts. More genius!
If there is anyway I can help your operation then please drop me a line. It would be my honour to help you.

Dear Alan,
I love it every time I see you on television or hear you on the radio, albeit I find “The Apprentice” very annoying. I find myself shouting at the TV through frustration.
I am full of business ideas so please drop me a line if you get really desperate! I’ve included some of my recent work.
Kind regards,

Dear Adam,
I was wondering if I could please bother you with a couple of quick questions:
• Do you wish you had came up with the idea of “American Inventor”?
• Do you believe that suppression of Free Energy technology has taken place?
• What projects are you working on at the moment?

More Bookshop Mailings
Have sent this to ten stores in Hay:
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I’m hoping we may be able to do some business together. My name is Ross Taylor and I work for a Publishing company as Commercial Manager. Aside from this however, my real passion is for secondhand books.
I was wondering if I could profitably help you by combining my passion alongside the fact that I make regular trips from my home in Northamptonshire to my Brother’s House in Gloucestershire.
Do you need books brought up or taken back? Do you require one box of samples taken to a store in Eastern England but feel it’s not worth the postage? I’m open to any ideas. I drive a Vauxhall Astra van which could easily hold a few dozen cartons.
Please use your imagination and contact me with any potential plans. I’m not looking to make a fortune – just cover my costs. I am more interested in learning more about Second Hand books, and doing someone a good turn.
I look forward to hearing from you.

I've dropped a line to Towcester Racecourse
Dear Sir/ Madam,
Please keep my details on file should you require any casual labour on race days. I am an extremely hard working individual just looking for a little extra cash. I could pick up litter, work as security, cook chips – anything.
I am available on any race day in 2011, as long as I have notice.
I very much look forward to hearing from you in the future.

Small Success with McCoys - good customer service
Hi Ross
Thank you for contacting us regarding the McCoys Curry promotion. We were sorry to hear of your experience.
The website does mention that you need to book ahead, on every page throughout the process of finding a restaurant in your area which unfortunately, you must have missed.
However, we would like to offer you a small goodwill gesture as you were so disappointed. This is being sent to your land address.
Once again, thank you for contacting us.
Kind regards
Rhonda Gittins

Let's see if I can get any joy from McCoy's
Hi,
I am really annoyed because I cut out my 2 for 1 curry voucher from a pack of McCoys and visited a participating restaurant located about 6 miles from my home. On presentation of the voucher I was told that I needed to book in advance for it to be accepted. I can't see where this is mentioned in the small print. This left me £22 out of pocket and fuming mad.
I am afraid that if this happens to a lot of customers then this will be the sort of promotion that creates McCoys as many enemies as it does friends.
Regards,
Ross Taylor.
