Dear Friends, I am writing you this email to inform you about our latest undertaking. We wanted to share the experiences and thoughts of top minds from the Ivy League and the Federal Government with the brightest and best high school students across the country. To that end, I introduce to you The Greatest Minds ( www.greatestminds.org ), an event to enable pre-college students to interact with Great Minds. This year's program includes an all-star line-up of thought leaders from business, politics and academia. A few of them are briefly described below: + Michael Sandel is a Harvard Professor of Political Philosophy. He teaches one of the most famous courses at Harvard, "Justice," which has enrolled more than 12,000 students over the years. (Philosophy) + Graciela Chichilnisky is a Professor at Columbia University who helped draft the Kyoto Protocol and is a leading thinker on environmental economics. (Environmental Economics) + David Walker is the former Comptroller General of the United States and the leading expert on America's debt crisis. (Fiscal Policy) Please feel free to check out the rest of our speakers at http://www.greatestminds.org/speakers.php?referrer=MikeKopko. During this economic crisis, we are committed to ensure that qualified students are able to attend the event regardless of their economic background by supplying ample financial assistance. We have already received applicants and will be admitting our first round of students this week. If you feel you can help us make this event more of a success, or can help us attract top students to apply for admission, please email me or forward this message along. We look forward to hearing from anyone who is passionate about educating our youth with this once in a life time opportunity. We're also seeking sponsors and partners who can help ensure this event is one of the best academic events of the year. I will be sending out an email about that sometime in the coming weeks, as we have a creative idea which we are excited to share with you. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to updating you on our progress soon. All my best, Michael Kopko P.S. GradeFund is doing incredibly well. We surpassed 14,000 users in just over 2 months and are in the process of building GradeFund 2.0 to take us to 300,000 users. -- Michael Kopko Chief Executive Officer 1-212-333-3303 www.GradeFund.com Inspiring Academic Achievement .........................................................................
