Dear Sir Or Madam


     It is with great excitement that I write to you today. I have been an admirer of your wigs and hair products for an extensive amount of time. Before I get to the main issue of my letter, let me inform you a bit about myself.

     Before relocating to Winnipeg, MB I lived in various parts of the southern states, with my main residence in Catfish Junction, Alabama. I grew up in a mobile home with my mother who supported us á la beautician parlor she ran out of our home. Her love for glamour and all that is beauty first made me an admirer of hair styles. It seemed the only thing that my mother loved more than me and cosmetology was Elvis Presley. She was one of the largest collectors of his memorabilia in our community park, and held one item sacred above all: clippings of Elvis's hair.

     My mother would often tell me the story of the day she acquired two locks of his hair. Her and another friend of hers waited for Elvis after a concert in Montgomery. When Elvis came through the back doors, my mother's friend distracted the security guards while my mother snuck up behind Elvis with a pair of shears and snipped off two locks of his hair. Her original plan was to share one lock with her friend while keeping the other, but, much to the chagrin of my mother's friend, we relocated to another community and kept both locks of hair. As a child, I was never allowed to touch the hair, but merely look at it through its casing. In fact, she only took it out of the case once a month to shampoo it.

     My mother has recently passed away, and I have inherited her Elvis Memorabilia. Before she passed on, she was able to attain a Certificate of Authenticity for the hair clippings. This brings me to why I am writing you today. I feel that my mother would want the hair to be in an environment where it could be more highly respected for its true value (since I have learned to loathe Elvis from years of my mother's fanatical love for him). What I propose is that you use the hair to possibly design an "Elvis" line of wigs, with real strands of Elvis hair. I am sure your company could easily profit off of this line of wigs. I have only seen wigs designed by you for the purpose of women, but I assume you also manufacture men's wigs. If not, may I suggest possibly making a "Priscilla" wig line instead (since she was Elvis' wife)?

     It would also give me personal satisfaction to know that the hair that my mother loved so much (and risked arrest for) will be 'one' with something else she loved (cosmetology). I am not a salesman, nor am I an entrepreneur. I am not asking for you to buy the hair from me at any substantial price. All I ask is for payment of the courier service to get the hair (and Certificate of Authenticity) to you in its pristine condition.

Sincerely,
Name Used

ps. Before my mother passed on, she compiled a list of other fanatics around the U.S.A. who also have some Elvis hair memorabilia (like side-burn shavings and such), so they may be interested in donating too (although I do not know if you would have a need for sideburn shavings)
