ミッションUD:白血病等のがん患者を救え！Target:76
Dear Valued Member,
As we prepare to celebrate the holiday season here in the US, I want to take this opportunity to say 'thank you'
for your ongoing participation with United Devices and Grid.org. Along with over 1.3 million people in every country
on earth, you've chosen to be part of scientific history -- this generosity never ceases to amaze us.
I am also writing you on a personal note. Over the past eight years, I wrote a novel called Leapfrog, a corporate
thriller that takes place in the cutting-edge world of drug discovery. Dr. Graham Richards from Oxford University,
a key scientific visionary for Grid.org, has penned the foreword. The novel not only covers some of the science that
is carried out on your machines every day but I also mention your work as Grid.org volunteers in several pivotal
chapters. You're in the book!
But there's a more important reason you might be interested in this novel:
All the profits from its sale will go to the National Foundation for Cancer Research.
You see, at the time I began writing my father was suffering from a rare and aggressive form of prostate cancer.
Eight months later he was gone. Part of my recovery was losing myself in a business career at Dell and eventually
my own software start-up. Of course, weeks would come and go fist fighting for efficiency and taking at the expense
of others as a way of life. At times I wondered if I could ever selflessly give anything to this world.

So, having wrapped my expertise, my heart, and many years into this book, I've decided to donate all of the profits
to fighting cancer. I simply don't want to pass through this earth and time without doing something, no matter how small,
which leaves the world around me slightly better than before.
Every book will be signed. Every email returned. I hope that you will enjoy a copy and support me in donating the funds
to folks who can really make this world a better place. The book will make a great gift for the holidays for a friend or
loved one as well. Orders for Christmas must be received by December 19th. I've included the link below:

Thank you for your support and for sending this message along.
