Here
is a draft of the letter WE SENT!
March 6, 2000
To Whom It May Concern,
Greetings! We, Marissa and Paige, are the creators of "Rally For
Jim". We are here today to show the overwhelming support for Mr.
Jim Carrey.
Considering the fact that you have probably heard so many opinions
on this subject, we are here to assure you that we are not trying
to cause problems nor are we going to behave like irrate fans. We
are simply the public reacting to a situation that we would like
to speak about.
On February 15, 2000, disbelief, disappointment, and anger were
shared by journalists, critics, and movie fans alike. That day marked
the second consecutive year that Jim Carrey's talent was overlooked
for an Oscar nomination. For what was considered to be a flawless
and mesmerizing performance. His interpretation and portrayal of
Andy Kaufman was so brilliant and convincing that audiences left
the theaters spellbound and believing that they had, in fact, been
watching Kaufman himself.
As a show of support for Jim Carrey, his fans have bonded together
to express their feelings on the grievous oversight of one of the
most talented, dedicated, and versitile actors to grace the big
screen. The following emails sent after this one will contain messages
and quotes that we have narrowed down in hopes that you will read
them.
Our time and dedication to this project has been quite extensive.
Hoping that our efforts pay off, please read our rally page emails
and let our people finally have the answers to their questions.
The question on everyone's mind seems to be: Why?
We sincerly thank you for taking the time to read this letter and
for listening to what we had to say. Please take a few more seconds
to read our following emails so the rest of the members of our rally
may also be heard.
Thank you once again.
Sincerely,
Marissa and Paige
That was the opening page. Then we have taken
all of your messages and put them into groups of 5 and will send them
in different emails. So total, the Academy will be receiving about
8-9 emails from our rally. We did that so the Academy would take notice.
If you would like, leave us your thoughts about our letter or how
you feel about the responses we get at the message board here.
