Subject: Appearance Invitation
Ellen-
I communicate with you in your capacity as U.S. Representative
Kathy Castor's Press Secretary to extend an invitation to her to
appear on my nationally syndicated radio show to discuss the
current topics of interest to American citizens, and more specifically
her constituents.
My show airs Saturday's Noon-2PM Eastern Time, and I would
be delighted to welcome her on any Saturday that her schedule allows.
My network flagship station is 970-WFLA in Tampa---located within the
Congressional district she represents. I know you and Ms. Castor
are very familiar with 970-WFLA as she has appeared many times on
AM Tampa Bay.
As a resident within the Congresswoman's district I receive her many
informational mailings. I'm sure the Congresswoman would be eager to
participate in this excellent opportunity to communicate directly with her
constituents.
Please inform me what Saturday works best for Congresswomen
Castor to appear. I look forward to your prompt reply.
Thank you in advance for your assistance in facilitating the arrangements
for her appearance.
Very truly yours,
"Cigar Dave"
The General

employs tens of thousands of Florida citizens, provides health
care and retirement benefits to their employees, and has called
Forida home since the late 1800's.
