Hi Veronica-

I am big fan and wanted to send you a new site based out of New Orleans, LA. Ex-cessories.com is a jewelry consignment site to capitalize on break-ups and buy affordable pieces! The girls keep up a daily Blog, so it also incorporates lifestyle and social networking. They encourage customers to donate to Brad Pitt’s organization, Make It Right, so I appreciate that, also being from New Orleans. Keep up all of your amazing work!

Veronica or as I would like to call you if I knew you Roni I wrote to you on July 2 2008 at American Morning about what in my opinion needs to take place if either Sen. Obama or Sen. McCain wants to make an effective change in America. I wrote to you Roni because indeed I want you to want to know how I formulate my visions enough to get to know me. You see any man can tell you how beautifull and special you are but as for me I can show you better than I can tell you and so I’m seeking to gain your intrest.
