I am asking each and every one of you to do one small favor for me.
Please find a piece of paper and write the following sentence:
Dear Ms. Coleman:
I want to see "Cast in Bronze" perform "Carol of the Bells" on Oprah's
Holiday Show.
(Then Sign your name)
Send it to:
The Oprah Winfrey Show
Attn: Amy Coleman
Supervising Producer
Harpo Productions
110 N. Carpenter
Chicago, IL 60607-2146
I am asking you to send that one sentence to Amy Coleman and if you
all do this, I may get on the show. If you don't write the sentence
and send it I will not get on. It's really that simple. This will
not work if you think that your letter is not important. This will
only work if each and every one of you helps me by writing that one
sentence and sending it. If you want to get a few friends to write
also, that would be even better. But, please do this one favor for
me.
Several times a year, every year, for the last 18 years I have written
to the Oprah Winfrey Show. And for 18 years every single letter has
been ignored. Every year for the last 18 years thousands of you ask
me why "Cast in Bronze" has never appeared on television. The answer
is simple: I am just one person, unknown to them and therefore
unimportant. They can only assume that I have nothing to offer if I
don't have an army of fans supporting me. Then I got excited when I
realized that I do have an army of fans that support me, and more
importantly, my mission to share the carillon with everyone.
Do you realize that "Cast in Bronze" may be only five minutes away
from appearing on Oprah! It will take you only five minutes to write
that one sentence, and put it in the mail today! I can't do this
without you! You are the only ones that can make this happen! So, I
am counting on all of you.
Try to imagine Amy Coleman, who reports directly to Oprah, explaining
that she has received thousands of letters about an unknown act called
"Cast in Bronze". I hope that if you all do as I ask, that not even
Oprah can ignore you and "Cast in Bronze" any longer.
What do I want for Christmas? I want each of you to write one
sentence and send it to Amy Coleman. That will make me happy.
Please...Please... Please... help me.
Thank you,
Frank DellaPenna
