Wow...I'm blown away. He will definitely be missed. My condoloscences go out to his family.

Gary was absolutely brilliant... he had a great gift to write AND teach copy... not too many people can claim that in any profession.

R.I.P. king s**t weasel. We're gonna miss you.

Mike

You can not have a discussion about copywriting without a mention of Gary.

We love you Gary.

We miss you.

Our hearts and prayers go out to your family,

May you rest in peace,

Saddened,
Edward Santosh

Dear Mr. Macdonald,

Did you know that your family name was recorded with a coat-of-arms in ancient heraldic archives more than seven centuries ago?

My husband and I discovered this while doing some research for some friends of ours who have the same last name as you do. We’ve had an artist recreate the coat-of-arms exactly as described in the ancient records. This drawing, along with other information about the name, has been printed up into an attractive one-page report.

The bottom half of the report tells the story of the very old and distinguished family name of Macdonald. It tells what the name means, its origin, the original family motto, its place in history and about famous people who share it. The top half has a large, beautiful reproduction of the artist’s drawing of the earliest known coat-of-arms for the name of Macdonald. This entire report is documented, authentic and printed on parchment-like paper suitable for framing.

The report so delighted our friends that we have had a few extra copies made in order to share this information with other people of the same name.

Framed, these reports make distinctive wall decorations and they are great gifts for relatives. It should be remembered that we have not traced anyone’s individual family tree but have researched back through several centuries to find out about the earliest people named Macdonald.

All we are asking for them is enough to cover the added expense of having the extra copies printed and mailed. (See below.) If you are interested, please let us know right away as our supply is pretty slim. Just verify that we have your correct name and address and send the correct amount in cash or check for the number of reports you want. We’ll send them promptly by return mail.

Sincerely

Nancy L. Halbert

A true legend. His body may pass away, but his work will live on forever.

Thanks for inspiring us, Gary. And making us laugh.

About a week ago a new copywriter discovered

"The most valuable website on the entire internet"
The Gary Halbert Letter

and asked "What do I do with this information?" I gave her the most valuable advice ever given to me in my life; to sit down with a notepad and pen, and copy one letter a day by a great copywriter.

Most sentence's on his website are better copy than
"The Top 100 Headlines Of All Time."

Wow! I'm shocked.

My prayers go out to family and friends.

Gary has literally changed the direction my life went. After listening to a CD of him at a mail order bootcamp, it was then that I decided to take a ride on this great adventure of mailorder and copywriting.

Thank you Gary, you'll be deeply missed!

Gary knew his days were counted

He got himself a protege

Whom he transferred all his prowess to

We should expect an official announcement from either John Carlton (his closest buddy) or perhaps even Theresa (his former secretary)
