Dear Maggie Montclair,
  I have been widowed for two years and have been searching for a book on widowhood for almost that long.  No books for widows are listed on the NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER LIST in my Sunday paper, and my library had nothing that helped me.
  I accidently stumbled on your book on Amazon.  Thank you so much for your understanding of what widows go through.  The 'being busy' and dealing with family was all good information, but the best part for me was being reassured that I'm not going crazy.  Your book helped me understand that my thoughts and feelings are normal grief.
  There must be many widows needing your book.  How can I be of help?/

Dear Want to Help,
  You will never know how much I appreciate your letter.  My goal is to make widowhood easier.  I'll let Gertie tell you how you can help. (She loves to tell people what to do.)  M

P.S.  Gertie here.  Just follow these easy instructions:

1.   After you read this letter just click on "follow."  That will ensure that you receive an e-mail notification every time there is a new letter.  The more followers to a website, the better.

2.  Forward your e-mail notification to everyone in your address book.  Everyone knows at least one widow who would appreciate being introduced to Maggie.

3.  If you purchased your book on Amazon, go back to the site and click "review."  Read the current reviews and write a paragraph of your own.  You can tell others about the book.

4.  If you receive notification on Facebook, please "like" the site.

All women belong to a sisterhood, and we need to help each other.  Be a good friend.  If you help someone now, help will be there when you need it.  Now, go have some fun!  Your friend, Gertie.
