Dear Mr. Wills:

First and foremost, allow me to thank you for the kindness and consideration you afforded my son, "Michael", during the recent Cable-Tec 2008 show in Philadelphia.  You may recall that you and Michael (age 10) really hit if off and had some fun on the show floor throwing the ball around.

Traveling to Wilmington, Delaware to see his Nana was a big deal for Michael:  meeting you was something else -- something he will  likely never forget.  Michael has since told everyone about the catches he had with you and keeps your autographed ball and baseball card next to his bed.

I told Michael that I would send you an e-mail and he said to tell you hi and thanks for signing pictures for his buddies, Chase and Jack.  You can be sure that between Michael, Chase and Jack everyone in Allen, Texas will be talking about the catch you and Michael shared.

In following up on our conversation, I just want to let you know that we will be returning home to Dallas today.  We would be honored to see you in Fort Worth and if you need a bat boy please know that you can count on Michael Koval to do his very best for you.   Please do not go out of your way.  Truth be told, we would be thrilled just to see you again. 

Kindly forward the details on the game/event next week in Fort Worth and please accept my deepest thanks for reaching out to Michael and making him feel on top of the world.

My VERY BEST REGARDS,

Jon
