Dear Ms. Winfrey,
I do have a great idea for a show, about a topic I feel passionately about, and about a person you would like to interview either on or off the show. The topic is about a unique approach to green renewable energy. The person is a man I met in my neighborhood. His name is Lael A. Alexander. His phone number is 985-510-1927 and his email is laelalexander@yahoo.com. He is an African American who moved to my neighborhood from Louisiana approximately 9 months ago. He presently has a company with some software that helps in product management at refineries. Mr. Alexander has researched and engineered a process for dealing with the energy situation facing the U.S. and the world today that utilizes idled equipment, assists is riding the enviroment of CO2 emissions, provides jobs, produces energy, and produces carbon credits for polluters. His designs are directed at both commercial and residential markets. His plans would also assist powering the school system and they include approaches to energy production that have not been considered, or at least there is no evidence of any consideration.My background is more in business and finance and Lael and I have had discussions concerning this. As I am sure you know, the financial markets today are not conducive to raising capitol. However, the energy outlook and the political enviroment are very supportive for the ideas he has discussed with me. Mr. Alexander is an honest and fair young man with a wife and 6 children. I have explained to him that if he presents his ideas to the Pickens of the world, his dreams might become someone elses dreams. This man could use some help both in finance and in the political world, in taking his ideas to market. Lael has hinted of his ideas to a refinery in the Port Arthur area and they want to take the whole thing and make it their project. I took him up to Calpine, an energy trading company here in Houston, and the traders liked his approach. At present, he is working on the patents and the expense thereof, so that he may more freely go forward with his concept which would again benefit the U.S., the world, the enviroment, the newly elected administration, the ecomomy, and just in general aiding in the transition from fossil fuel generation of energy to a cleaner greener energy generation. I know that my letter may create more questions than answers and my hope is that it would create enough curosity to encourage you to contact Lael. Perhaps it would benefit the Oprah Winfrey Show or some other aspect of the Oprah enterprise.I have only had contact with one person to ever be invited to be on the Oprah Winfrey Show. That was Kay Slack who was chosen as one of the teachers of the year. She is a teacher at Dulles High School. I can truly say that her review of the show and yourself was stellar. Thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself and for the opportunity to write this letter on behalf of Mr. Alexander.
