(the letters mailed out read:)

Dear Achiever,

American’s love to hear a great success story...especially yours.

You live the American Dream and perhaps you might be able to share some of your wisdom with other dreamers. We have two quick questions to ask:

1.) What does the American Dream mean to you?

2.) What advice would you give to someone chasing after their dreams?

If you might be so kind as to jot the answers to these two questions down on your letterhead (along with a photo if possible) and mail them back to us in the enclosed postage paid envelope, it would be greatly appreciated. We will post all responses to our website www.usdreams.com throughout the year. Our new website features 300-plus pages of positive and motivational profiles on America’s top achievers.

Your wisdom will inspire thousands of dreamers. Thank you in advance for helping us share the American Dream message throughout our great land.

Continued success,



Jim Bickford
