DEAR MS. WINFREY,
MY NAME IS LEO. A. DYCE, JR. I AM THE 45 YEAR OLD SON OF JAMAICAN IMIGRANTS. I WAS BORN IN BROOKLYN N.Y. AS A RESULT OF MY OWN STUPIDITY AND WEAKNESS, MY PARENTS SUFFERED THROUGH MANY YEARS OF AGONY WHILE I WAS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ILLEGAL DRUGS.
I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT I AM NOW GOING ON 12 YEARS "CLEAN AND SOBER".
BECAUSE OF MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, I FEEL COMPLELLED TO DO MY BEST TO WORK WITH YOUNG PEOPLE TO SAVE THEM FROM MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO COME OUT ALIVE, SO MANY ARE NOT.
I HAVE AFFILIATED MYSELF WITH AN ORGANIZATION CALLED "CHRISTIAN FAMILIES, USA. THE SOLE PURPOSE OF THIS ORGANIZATION IS TO GIVE PARENTS, TEACHERS, PRINCIPAL AND CONCERNED ADULTS A WEAPON TO USE IN THIS BATTLE TO SAVE OUR CHILDREN. THE WEAPON THAT WE SEEK TO DISTRIBUTE IS A SIMPLE BOOK CALLED “WHAT EVERY PARENT NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT CHILDREN AND DRUGS”
I WOULD LIKE TO SEND YOU A COPY AND GET YOUR OPINION. IF YOU FEEL AS I DO THAT THIS IS THE POWERFUL TOOL THAT CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE, I WOULD ASK FOR YOUR HELP IN SUPPORTING THE EFFORTS OF THIS ORGANIZATION.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU.
SINCERELY,
LEO. A. DYCE, JR.
