Hi,
I’m writing to wish you a happy holidays and to tell you
about a special project you can help me with during this
festive season. I know you’re busy, so I won’t delay my
wish at Christmas.
Here’s what I want for Christmas, can you play Santa
through me?
Go here:
www.f-l-o-w.com/book and buy my new book @F-L-O-W,
choose either eBook, or Print Book, and I will take care
of the rest. I promise you that the book will be well
worth the ideas it will generate for you, me, and we.
Now, here’s why, if you want to read my
Letter to
Santa.
For the past decade, I’ve been traveling the world and
testing a system which is the basis for a new social
operating system, which is something that I wanted to do
with my life, work, and capability.
I’ve just celebrated 25 years in professional coaching and
it has been an interesting journey.
As a result I’ve just soft-launched my new Platform
@F-L-O-W, and I am making the book behind this
multifaceted approach to happiness and success available
in both print and e-book as part of a pet project I have
been working with for the past 3 years in the
Philippines–working with disadvantaged, high potential
single mothers who need help in learning marketable skills
to get a meager job so they can feed their children
without doing whatever they have to, in order to make ends
meet.
I receive requests daily for help to provide rice,
medication, doctor visits, and any opportunity for
dignified income.
In a recent book by Gallup Founder, Jim Clifton, he
writes:
"The leadership problem is that an increasing number
of people in the world are miserable, hopeless,
suffering, and becoming dangerously unhappy because
they don’t have an almighty good job — and in most
cases, no hope of getting one." Clifton, Jim
(2011-10-04). The Coming Jobs War (Kindle Locations
36-38). Gallup Press. Kindle Edition.
While my game is a small game,
I’m trying to make a small difference, while they allow me
to study their lives to improve my new Social Organizing
System @F-L-O-W.
I have a personal request, in
fact, I’ll put it the way they put it to me daily, and
that is I, for them, am begging you for help for them,
during this precious holiday season…and if you have
never begged for help, you are a lucky person, as these
people beg for help almost daily, for any manner of things
they so desperately need. Just finding food sometimes
is a major task.
Rather than just asking for
money, I’m donating a LARGE part of my book sales
all during the holidays to purchase rice during the
celebrated holiday week so these people can have
a little money to buy their children a gift instead of
just buying rice for Christmas and New Year. I know that
if I provide them rice, they can use the few pesos they
save to purchase an annual gift for their children, a new
Christmas dress or pants, as poor people get their annual
new clothes on Christmas.
In exchange, I’ll send you an
autographed copy of my Print book, and donate the rice in
your name during the holidays. I’ve even created a special
rice program just for this 2-week period during Christmas
and New Year’s Day.
I’ll list your name among the
donors and you will receive special prayers and thanks
from all the people who receive your donation. I do not take
any money for administration, as I already have our staff
in the Philippines ready to help us and they will do their
part. For the past two years, we have even added street
people in the Malate, Manila area, going out on Christmas
Morning to give them a food gift to make their day a
little brighter. All the money donated gets to them as
rice.
If you can take just a moment
to go online and purchase my book, in either version, I
will donate $20 per e-book and $30 per print book for each
book you buy. Visit
www.f-l-o-w.com/book to buy now. I am very proud of
this decade-long effort @F-L-O-W, and I think you will get
some really great ideas from this book about how to live,
work and relate in the future with the suggestions I make
in the book about how we need to adapt to accelerating
complexity.
Thank you very much for
considering my personal request to you. I may not know you
too well, but I want you to know that I appreciate the
opportunity to serve disadvantaged people with your
scaffolding and support, and wish you well-being.
Best wishes during this
holiday season,
Mike
PS: If you can, purchase more
than one copy, and let me know how to sign it for you.
Thanks for your kindness.
If you can send this Letter to
Santa to others who will help, will you? Thank you.
