-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Lingard Sent: Sunday, September 16, 2007 8:33 PM Ottawa Canada Hi Mike and list: Most companies and organizations put much more value in postal mail than e-mail, FAX or telephone calls. Most companies figure one postal letter counts as around 20 telephone calls on the same topic. If you want to contact someone at R. F. B. and D. with influence, try sending polite postal letters in English to: As at 2007/03/12 John Kelly, President and C. E. O., recording for the blind and Dyslexic, 20 Roszel Rd., Princeton NJ 08540-6206 Make your letter concise, and for Heaven's sake spell check it and proofread it! And if in doubt as to whether it is written properly or not, ask your English teacher or English Professor if you are in college to review it BEFORE you sign and mail it! This is particularly important if English is not your native language! If you are more comfortable writing an important letter in your native language, be it Spanish, Portuguese, French or Mandarin, then write your letter politely and clearly in your native language and enclose both the original and an English translation! Do include a line explaining your native language is whatever it is and that if there is any discrepancy between say the Mandarin and English versions, to please consider the Mandarin version conclusive. After writing, spell checking, proofreading and doing final touch-ups to your letter, please print the name and address it is going to on a nice #10 (Business size) envelope, insert your letter bearing a nice legible signature and your R. F. B. and D. Borrower Id, seal the envelope, affix correct postage and deposit into a convenient mailbox for collection by the United States Postal Service. Then sit back and give it a month or two. When John Kelly finds so much mail on his desk he can't get into his office, and the postman has several more big mail bags of it coming in the door, he will rightfully conclude that expediting the availability of User Authorization Keys for the Victor Reader Stream is of great importance to an awful lot of his faithful borrowers! And he will do what he can to expedite the process. The important things about your letters to him are to explain how use of your V. R. Stream will help you make better use of his organization's digital book titles, how this will greatly assist you in attaining The Dean's List, or remaining on it, and that you need to use your Stream with his digital titles as soon as possible, preferably by the end of this semester. Remember to be polite and do mention your borrower-id with his organization. Happy writing! Brian Brian K.
