This is Adena Shepherd, from the Left Bank, the green eyed waitress, now living in Colorado. Years have passed, since we last had spoke. You and I discussed that I had written a children's book.
Based on our last conversation, I have followed your advice and tightened my book up, to be shown to a publisher. I appreciate that you took the time to test and counsel me on my direction and goals. I know that you are sought after for your counsel and insight. The fact that you have offered time from your busy life and to help me, moves me to meet life's challenges and believe in myself. My sincere thanks for your friendship and council.
As you know, my dream has been to start a healing center for children. My intention is for a percentage of the sales of my book to be donated to children's organizations in Denver.
I am elated about the gifts I have been given and believe that my book titled "Sleepy Time Sam and Skinny Cat Skips Dream Time Adventures", will be the start toward helping children in need.
I wish to extend my friendship, gratitude and open door policy to you, for changing my life and for your offering of faith and friendship. Who knew God, would bless me to this magnitude.
I am finally stable, happy and excited about my path and life. Thank you for being a part of my inspiration and a helping hand.
I have the work to submit to your publisher. I know you have no pull in their decision, but either way, I am grateful to you for offering to hand my work to the right people, who may be helpful in this endeavor. The professional steps have been taken, to submit my works.
I am currently working on a second book to be submitted as a companion piece to" Sleepy Time Sam's and Skinny Cat Skip's Dream Time Adventures ".
I would be honored and grateful if you would show my work to your publisher. The story has been read by moms, children, and a technical and grammatical editors, all with great response. I have funding for an illustrator, yet upon contacting several published illustrators, they recommend submission of written works to the publisher. I guess, it is normal for a publisher to pick their own illustrator.
With polishing and hard work, I have no doubt my book will sell. It is a great story, a tool and creative outlet for parents and their children. I am working on the sequel and have dolls that also can be made and sold with the book.
How would you like me to proceed? I have misplaced your information from our last conversation, three years ago.
I am ready to submit my work.
I would like to extend my gratitude for your time and efforts.
I will forever mention your helping hand and have no problem paying you for your time.
I would hope, this reaches you with my contact information.
Your friendship was a life altering one for me. I am unable to locate your phone number and direct information that you had given me. So, here is my information
Adena Shepherd
1945 S. Sherman St.
Denver, Co. 80210

Again, I greatly look forward to hearing from you and I thank you for your inspiration and helping hand.
