-------THE LETTER--------

Makers of great video games,

Welcome. You've just been linked to an opportunity for your company and products to be associated with an incredible program called Extra Life.

Extra Life is a 24-hour worldwide video game marathon taking place on October 18th. The event benefits pediatric cancer research and treatment at one of the planet's premier cancer and hematology centers, Texas Children's Cancer Center.

So far more than 30 websites and nearly a thousand gamers from all corners of the world are already hard at work, gathering personal hourly sponsors for the marathon.

Additionally, companies like Playswitch.com and Sumolounge.com have already stepped forward to provide some great incentives for our participants.

We anxiously await YOUR support.

Each year, gamers support your company to a greater and greater extent, pushing the industry to incredible levels of success and possibility.

From time to time, however, we need you to support us.

In this case, we simply ask that your company help us raise awareness, attract participants, and even provide matching donation incentives to make Extra Life the event we all know it can be.

With or without corporate support, we know Extra Life will be an incredibly successful event... it already is.

But when a company stands with its consumers for a common cause, well that's when we the impossbile becomes reality.

Please join us as a non-exclusive sponsor for Extra Life.

Best,

Doc Adams

Excellent letter doc hopefully we can get some attention from some of the higher-ups:thumbsup:

I made a thread on the Xbox Forums and the Bungie Forums (not spamming) asking for people to pass it around, if thats ok with you. If not I will delete it.

Gabe would probably do something, i'll send one off to him.

If we were to get another company to help sponsor, and they raised 2000+. Would the person who referred them get a prize? Not to sound greedy, just curious.

...has someone tried to email iD about this? Im looking for a general email I can drop this on, but Im having no luck.

Developers from Monolith, the makers of FEAR 2: Project Origin have formed a team. Woot!
