Hello Bill, 
 
First of all, while attending the birthday party at your house over the summer, I had no idea who the man serving me the well grilled steak was.
 
Upon learning, I foolishly kept the thank you note to myself, as I was told it wasn't acceptable.  In case you don't remember me, I'm the guy who came with Michael Braverman invited by Josephine to celebrate her husband's birthday.  I drove the black Audi.  And glibly joked with your wife of my needing my english to japanese translation ap on my phone just to use your toilet!  So, a belated thank you.
 
I'm "bothering" you not as someone with their hand out, as I've never asked anyone for a dime, but as another guy who has small children that look to them for proper care!  Incidentally, I'm forgoing my Christmas to head up to Newtown to bring some toys, lend a hand or anything else I can think of-  even if its just to lay a wreathe in remembrance. 
 
Bill, you asked me what I do, and I embarrassingly declared I was a banker by trade who now runs a non profit.  Look who I was saying that too!  I humbly try to help kids, and have dedicated my entire being to doing just that.  
 
As I said, I'm going to Newtown tomorrow, is there anything I can do for you while I'm there?  
 
Through my foundation, I hope to build a center much like the Children's center in Ireland after their children's shooting and hold an event. While I'm in Newtown, I'm hoping to also figure out a way that I can ensure these kids will not have died in vein.  I also ask for any assistance because I do realize how foolish I may appear- I'm just one guy.  But this guy has the heart of 50,000.
 
I'll close with saying that it was a great, great honor to have spent the evening with you, and your family at your home.  My entire being I believe had prepped me just to have made your acquaintance.  If we were to have never met again, or I had the honor to someday work beside/with you in non profit...  the gratitude would forever remain the same.  That evening, someone like you serving me my dinner  has forever reminded me that I matter and one person can make the world better.  
 
Michael will kill me for reaching out, but as our nation mourns over the children senselessly lost, and having children of our own of similar age, how can we not try to help??  It remains about those lost and not about us.
 
I've spent the morning with Do Something, and forwarded the letter I had sent. It clearly states my intention and what I'm taking on.
 
Best,
John M. Rinaldi

Hey John-
Just wanted to confirm I got this! I've forwarded it along, but as I mentioned, we're all just tying up loose ends as it's the end of the year, so don't be shocked if you don't hear anything substantial from us until the new year.

I am sorry but I really don’t understand what you are asking of me.  The letter you attached is addressed to Do Something, Brook Shields, and Liv Tyler and I still do not know what you’re asking for? Are you asking me to forward the letter to Liv?  I do not represent Brook Shields and have no connection to Do Something.  If you spoke to Julianne what is it you are asking of me?  I’m sorry but this whole chain of communication is very confusing and does not make sense to me.

Dear Steven Huvane:
 
We've actually communicated in the past when you resided at PMK.  I did an event for Scott Rudin honoring Nicole Kidman and contacted you inviting several PMK's clients.  
 
I just met with Julianne Moore again and discussed my latest project and once again gained her interest. I kept it short wanting to keep it short and going through the appropriate channels.  
 
Attached is a letter I had sent to Do Something, that I discussed with Julianne.  I too live in the West Village and have become rather friendly with many fine fellow humanitarians.
 
I hope this finds you well, and trust you receive this feeling the urgency we as a nation feel for this senseless act of cowardice.  
 
Best,
John

I live in the West Village, and have become pretty friendly with many of our neighbors including some pretty well known talent.


I just ran into Julianne Moore again, and asked if she'd be interested in joining forced again for Sandy Hook.  She, of course said yes.  


I'm very excited about doing something and diving in for the greater.  I only hope you all will share my interest. 


I'm going to also post my letter to you- seeing it came out so well.  I have close to 300,000 folks who "like" what I do.  


Best,
John
