Thank you everyone for giving us your comments on the first draft. This is
the second draft. You still have another week to put forth your comments
in case we left out any suggestions by mistake. The final letter will be sent to Dr. Gho October 30th.
Please give us your comments at the

================================
<THE LETTER>
DRAFT
Dear Dr. Gho:
I hope this letter finds you well.
First of all, on behalf of everyone who comes to HairSite, I would like to
commend you for pioneering the Hair Multiplication procedure. While Hair
Multiplication may or may not be the answer that we have been hoping for,
this is truly inspirational to everyone suffering from hair loss. Your
research is definitely the impetus we need to uproot the existing
complacency in the hair transplant industry. Words cannot express our
gratitude to your efforts and research in this area.
This is a follow up letter to our previous
correspondence back in July. The Hair Multiplication forum participants have
been extremely cooperative and agreed to put forth their questions in an
orderly fashioned. I have taken the liberty to present you our concerted
efforts - a list of questions about the Hair Multiplication procedure.
Please forgive me for being so bold as to impose a
list of queries on your research. Many of our forum participants have put
off hair transplant and hair replacement procedures for years pending the outcome of
your research. Any info that you can offer would be greatly
appreciated.
Last but not least, I would like to mention that
volunteers from our forum participants have started a non-profit project.
This project aims to
educate the public about the very latest in hair loss treatments. Needless to
say, your Hair Multiplication procedure claims the spotlight of this
non-profit project. While we are still in the early stages of this
non-profit project, you can see some of our work at http://www.hairsite.com/campaign.htm.
As I said before in our previous correspondence,
please let us know if there is anything we can do to assist you
with your research. We do have a group of very dedicated volunteers who
would spare no efforts in expediting the process.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
