hoping to help in some sort-a way

Dear Sir Geldof,
Thank you for your attention. Your name first started coming up when we got involved with Peter Gabriel. Not that he mentioned your name. She did. In fact, Peter does not know that I am contacting you.

Certainly, you are the only person (that I know of) experienced with a benefit of this size. However, that is not the main reason why I bother you. If you are interested, I would love to talk to you about a special... secret project.

Thank you,
Daniel
