To start with I want to say Welcome to my two new followers, one I'm pretty sure is just following to see if I will eat and sleep (I still say those things are overrated Ana), and the other wants to makes sure I come back.
I was asked by Bones what I wrote in my letters to the MP, MLA and the Mayor to get some pins so I thought I would answer that in a blog this way if anyone else wanted to know here we go.
For the letters I basically just told them what I was doing and how I was going to be helping Canada/Alberta/Edmonton because I will be telling people from all over the world about Canada/Alberta/Edmonton and then I asked for however many pins they could give me.
3 things for the letter:
1. Make each letter personal for each person (MP- letter about repersenting Canada, MLA-letter about representing your Provence and the mayor -letter about representing your city)
2. Lay it on thick about how much you love the Country/Province/City, I told the MP about random facts of Canada
3. Make a joke, I ended each letter with a joke (ie. Will I miss winter.... Nope but will I miss alberta beef.... Hell yeah)
Here is a sample of a letter I sent to my MLA, I basically used this letter but changed it for different people asking for different pins.
To: The Honorable __________
My name is ________and I will have the honour of representing Canada and especially Alberta for the next year while working at Disneyworld at the Canadian pavilion in EPCOT.
This was from approximately 1500 to 3000 applicants throughout Canada, 30 were chosen and only three people from our lovely province were chosen this time around. During my work at the pavilion I will be meeting people from around the world and speaking not only about Canada but Alberta.
One thing about Disneyworld is the trading of pins – staffs are able to give out pins that they have on a sash to anyone visiting the park for a pin and explaining what the pin represents.
My request is to see if I could be able to get about 200 to 300 pins of Alberta to take with me to Disneyworld to give to people from around the world – this give me the great pleasure of explaining what each part of the Alberta pin means from the rocky mountains, to the wheat fields of the prairies and our blue sky – well maybe not in the middle of January with blowing snow and a wind chill
I am proud to be Canadian and especially an Albertan – born and raised in Edmonton and it will give me great pleasure to tell everyone from the world how great it is to be an Albertan
Will I miss winter, most likely not... but will I miss Alberta beef, most defiantly.
Thank you for considering this request,
Sincerely;
_______________
And that was what I wrote to get pins. Hope this helps other people.
Thank you Bones for asking the question.
Keep up with the comments and questions, there fun.
Good Morning,
Good afternoon, and
Good night.
