Calling all former Flowers By Nina clients

[Phil dAmore]

Greetings all:

Phil d'Amore here. Old timers will remember me from when I lived in St. Petersburg and ran a little flower and gift service in addition to providing a wide variety of other services to visiting clients.  It was my distinct pleasure to help so many of you and hope that your search for a bride was successful and you are happy.

Now I need your help.  Since returning to The United States in 2007 I have been unable to obtain any type of employment owing largely to my lack of recent experience in my varied fields.  While tales of an American living and working in Russia make for thrilling cocktail conversation, all any potential employer wants to know is what I've done lately and what type of references I can provide.

This is where you come in.  If you were among the many who Nina and I helped between 2001 and 2007 I would greatly appreciate it if you could dash off a quick letter of reference for me.  Since client confidentiality was a large part of the Flowers by Nina philosophy I did not maintain any client lists.  In short, I have nothing but a wild story and a passport full of expired visas to document my claim of being self-employed all those years.  Not surprisingly potential employers are not buying it, not without some references.

So I humbly request of all former clients, friends and associates- if you could help me in any way I will greatly appreciate it.

Thank you and continued success in your romantic endeavors

Phil

Phil,
Check your e-mail for my "Reference Letter". As I said in the e-mail, sorry if I got too long-winded, and I hope I didn't fill it with too much fluff.
For several years, you really had a good internet following, as many guys recommended your hospitality services. I know if it wasn't for you and Nina personally, I may have never had the courage to visit Russia. I consider my trips to Russia, and the relationships that I formed there, to be one of the most worthwhile things I have done in my life. For that, I'm eternally grateful.
I really hope that things start lookin' up for you soon. I'll send you one of my patented manifests soon, and we can catch up via e-mail.
Chris
