David's Cover Letter

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

David is having trouble posting his store letter, so I am cutting and 
pasting it into plain text from the rejection letter:

  ---

The Aquatic Gardeners Association, Inc. (AGA) is an international
organization devoted to encouraging aquarists to learn how to grow healthy
planted aquariums. AGA is a non-profit organization, and we are in no way
any form of competition with you store owners. We hope to be able to
provide you with materials that you can a) make money from and b) that
will help your Customers grow plants.

The AGA would like to make available to you some printed materials that
will help your Customers grow better plants. We ask that you not charge
any money for the documents written by Karen Randall about setting up a
planted tank, and how to make a homemade CO2 bubbler. We do, however,
encourage you to make copies of these and give them to your Customers for
free; we have even left a space in the upper right for you to put your
store stamp or logo on. The other back issues of magazines we will sell to
you at a price that we hope you will mark up and make money on by selling
them to your Customers. These publications are back issues of:

  a.. The Aquatic Gardener (TAG) - the quarterly publication of the 
Aquatic Gardeners Association, Inc. These cost you $1.25 for each back.
  b.. Planted Aquarium Magazine (PAM) - a very high quality full color
magazine that unfortunately could not get a wide enough subscriber base to
make it. PAM back issues are $3.50 each, and they have a $6.95 retail 
price on them.

The "starter collection" consists of 16 TAGs and 7 PAMs and costs you a
total of $44.50. You can order more as you need them. The two Karen
Randall publications are free, and we ask that you not charge anything for
them.

We hope that these publications will help you to develop Customers who are
successful in growing aquatic plants. Please encourage your Customers to
join the AGA ($15/year - great deal), and please let us know if there is
anything else that AGA can provide to help you and your Customers be
successful growing aquatic plants.
