Man Scout

My daughter is in Girl Scouts which means, by proxy, I am in Girl Scouts.  This is her first year in the scouts and I want her to do a good job so I posted the following at work, I think it might help;

"This is my daughter’s first year selling Girl Scout cookies which makes it the first of many years where I will be shilling away for her at work!  If you have received this letter and cookie sheet, thank you for taking the time to read them.  So first, let me give you some details;

·         Cookies are $4 a box

·         They are yummy

·         They will be available for delivery middle of February

·         Payment is not due until delivery

And, to make you all feel warm and fuzzy, her troop has decided to use some of the funds received from the sale to build a community garden in Maricopa, tentatively at the Veterans Center.  How can that not make you feel good?  A pretty place for those that deserve it built by a slew of 6 year olds in a town that’s been hit hard?  I’m getting teary right now just writing this!

But if that did not motivate you then maybe this will.  If 250 or more boxes are purchased by employees at GT I will deliver them in a Girl Scout uniform.  Yes, I love my daughter enough to do that.  Plus, 250 seems like a pretty steep number so I don’t think I have much to worry about, but please prove me wrong.

In closing, for $4 a box you get some sweet, sweet cookies, you get to help out a Girl Scouts troop, you get to help that troop help out their community, and quite possibly you might just get those cookies delivered by a grown man in a Girl Scout uniform.

Thank you for helping out!

p.s.          If you do want to order please feel free to send me an email with your order.  All I need is an extension or phone number, and quantity per box.  I’ll fill in the rest.  Thank you."

So, would this motivate you to buy a box?
