Not here to brag, but really just wanted to let some friends know that a great thing happened to me today.

Mike Morgan had whispered to me a few weeks ago that there was a chance that David Garfinkel was gonna hire me to write some copy for a big launch he's having.

I didn't tell many people about it because well, it wasn't a done deal. David never called and being in Hollywood I've seen many a deal fall apart in between the offer and the contract.

Anyway I was bursting... wanting to tell everyone, but couldn't do it until it was an actual deal.

Finally... I can breath.

David called today and made me a great offer I just couldn't refuse.

To think back in March I hadn't written more than a self-promo letter for Mike and Matt's apprentice contest, and here I am writing for David Garfinkel.

Gotta love this business!

Thanks Mike and Matt for everything. And thanks to my friends here for the support.

It's going to be a tough 6 weeks with lots of deadlines and rewrites, but it will all be worth it in the end.

This make me happy for you ,Congratulation my friend.
This is again a proof of how people are nice in this board.

again congratulation.

Oh Yea!!

You didn't just bust through the gates...You KNOCKED THEM DOWN!!

Looks like you'll be back East in no time.

Aah Vin,
You finally let the cat (tiger) out of the bag!

Awesome dude... you rock!!!

I'm as happy as hell for you Vinnie.

Hopefully you'll write a sales letter as smooth, slippery and slick as the top of your head.

If I see a MEGAheadline, followed by a MEGAsubhead, followed by a 1/2 dozen testimonials and then a saluation followed by a DROPcap opening paragraph, I'm gonna open up a 55 gallon drum of CALIFORNIA whopazz on ya.

LOL... have to admit I've used them all... just not all in the same letter!

Congratulations Vin
Awesome job
Anthony
