  Re – 2010 Bicycle Relay-Race
  at Harvard?

  Dr. Faust: 

  The purpose of this email is to seek your
  office’s help with bringing a large college bicycle relay-race to the Harvard campus next year. My name is Jess Phillips, Jr.
   I am a retired NFL football player and head of the Relay-Race 100
  organizing committee. We are an eclectic assortment of bicyclist from around
  the country. As you can see below, we had originally planned to have this
  event in Bermuda. However, after
  conferring with prospective sponsors and the fact that each of these college
  students would have to get visas and passports to travel to Bermuda, we have
  decided to have this collegiate relay-race in a more
  easily accessible U.S.
  city.

  The plan is to have each major U.S. and
  Canadian college/university submit a coed, four person bicycle relay team.
  Each of the four team members – two males & two females -- will race 25
  miles. The top three fastest teams will receive trophies and prizes. The
  ideal dates being Tuesday, June 29th
  to Sunday, July 4th, 2010.

  This would be a great fund raising
  opportunity for the university. And it will attract hundreds of prospective
  future students to your campus. We expect this relay-race will attract 24,000
  plus people per day. That includes race participants, their families,
  friends, spectators and press from all over the country. Each of these 24,000
  daily visitors will spend, on average, $17.00 per day while at this event. Keep in mind this will be a six day event.
  $17.00 x 24,000 = $408,000,000 in gross daily sales.

  Over the course of six days, we’re talking
  about gross sales just from parking, food, and memorabilia of over $2.4
  million and that doesn’t include the hundreds of thousands
  of dollars that will be spent on area hotel/motel rooms, renal cars and
  restaurants. We would like for the net proceeds from the concession and
  parking fees to go to Harvard in exchange for hosting and helping us
  organize this event.

  Dr. Faust, would Harvard be interested in
  helping us bring this unique sporting event to Massachusetts this coming July? We
  plan to consider other locations, but I think the Harvard campus would be an
  ideal place to host this first-ever event.

  If interested, I would appreciate an opportunity to discuss with you in more
  detail our plans for this relay-race and to find out what if any local/state
  licenses and/or permits that we would need. We think this will be a great
  spectator sporting event that will be televised nationally, and we hope to
  make this an annual event. Thank you for your time. Your questions, comments,
  suggestions are encouraged.

  Sincerely,

  Jess
  Phillips, Jr.

  Re - 2010 Bicycle
  Relay-Race?

  Mr. Curtis, my name is Jess
  Phillips, Jr. I am the chairman of the Relay-Race 100 organizing
  committee. The purpose of this email is to seek your help with hosting a
  100 mile, coed bicycle relay-race in Hamilton Bermuda during Spring Break
  in March 2010. This will be a six day event: Monday to Saturday. 

  Regarding the 100 mile bicycle relay-race: Each team will consist of two
  males and two females from colleges and universities all over the U.S. and Canada. Race team members
  will travel 25 miles before passing the baton to their teammate. Because this
  race will be televised, we would like to have a race route along the beach
  front.

  The big attraction for the collegiate race teams will be the cash prizes and
  the new car that each of the four winning team members will
  receive.   We are extremely confident that will be able to find
  several corporate sponsors for this unique event that we would like to have
  every year. 

  Mr. Curtis, this race, which will be televised, will bring thousands of
  people to Bermuda this coming March and
  generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales from hotel rooms to rental
  cars. Who would we need to contact to discuss the possibly of having this
  Spring Break 2010 Relay-Race in Bermuda?
  Your help in this matter is much appreciated.

  Sincerely,

  Jess Phillips, Jr
