Dear Eddie,

On behalf of The Recording Academy, thank you for providing your talent, your time and
your support to our 2002 Holiday Party.  Your participation helped make the event
extremely successful, and your performances added a special touch to the evening.  We are
grateful that you were able to take time out of your busy schedule to be with us.

The evening was filled with great food, entertainment and holiday spirit.  Our staff, Board
 of Trustees, Officers and special friends of the Academy all truly enjoyed themselves.

I look forward to identifying future opportunities for us to work together once again.  Good
luck on your current projects, and have a wonderful holiday season.  Please forward our
sentiments and appreciation to the other members of your band.

Sincerely,

Branden Chapman
Director, Event Development
