Newsweek: “As her sentencing date approaches, Martha Stewart is searching for a way to stay out of jail — or at least get out of jail early. Newsweek has learned that Stewart will seek to serve all or part of her sentence helping underprivileged women start their own businesses. She recently approached the Women’s Venture Fund, a New York nonprofit, offering to work 20 hours a week teaching low-income and minority women to become entrepreneurs.”

My associate and I are interested in contacting Martha Stewart to present to her a few floral products that we have made. Unfortunately, I have exhausted all of my internet options and would appreciate anyone who could direct me to her business address. We believe that she would be very interested in what we are sending her. Thank you for any assistance that you can give us.

Dear Martha,
First of all, I would like to say hello, and how are you? Hope you are okay, and in god’s hand. This is not a comment, I just want to reach you for a help. I invented something for puppies, and I want to share it with you. It’s very useful, and for sure lots of people will be interested. Please do contact me.
sincerely,
Mary

I have seen alot of letter’s sent to various business people that request “Help” for their product lines. Or they want to expand their product lines and all they keep hitting is a brick wall looking for that break that they need to open the doors for them. I understand this all to well because I have had the same problems in life. Now here is what I can suggest, why don’t we take all our idea’s and put them together with our products and develop our own national market place but not to stop there but to grow and always keep the doors open for other’s with great concepts as well. This won’t be a my idea or your idea’s but our idea’s and our company. It would be owned by the people that build it or help build it. Why do we have to even bother Martha Stewert? I think she has enough problems and never wanted to even talk to us let alone contact us. She is not thinking of you or I, she thinks of herself. Yes it is very sad but very true. If you have an Idea please keep it to yourself if you want help with patent work or trademark work I can refer you to qualified attorney’s that will work directly with you, that won’t take you for a ride like alot of companies that I have found try to do. I thankyou all for your time, if you feel like you need to contact me you can do so by writing to ADL1989@Aim.com. Alan
