I received this in my email inbox today. Rather than spending time posting it in any other form, I’m just cutting and pasting:

Dear Ms. Emerson,

I am writing to you on behalf of the Philadelphia International Music Festival, featuring members of The Philadelphia Orchestra. PIMF offers a series of classical music programming to students of all ages and skill levels in the United States and around the world, creating the unique opportunity of spending fourteen days immersed in music education & performance with members of the world-renowned Philadelphia Orchestra.

We are hoping you will consider posting a description of our dynamic summer music programming for your readers that may be searching for an appropriate summer music festival for themselves, their children, or their students. Based on the content of your blog, we feel that our organization may be of high interest to your readers therefore adding additional value to your blog content (which already boasts outstanding information!)

The following is our recommended description:
