[Artemisia] A new Somerville Manor

[Aghren the Brus]

Please, is this on behalf of a private enterprise begging donations? I will not speak more of it nor should I see more of it here!


My regards to those worthy of esteem,

Aghren the Brus

> Dear Family, Friends, Associates, and the Friends of Friends;
> I believe that the time is right to re-establish Somerville Manor as a
> landed medieval open air museum. Most of you know my integrity and
> committment to this idea from the old Somerville Manor. Land prices are
> falling and local governments are more open to business that can bring in
> sales tax revenue to their tax-base. The new site will be larger than the
> first Somerville manor and will be formed as a Limited Liability Company. It
> will employ at least 20 full-time staff and about 30 part-time staff and it
> will be built here in Utah.There are four different sites under
> consideration. I believe it will be very successful. To help convince the
> rather skeptical Small Business Administration and other large investors,
> that this is something the public will support, I am asking the following
> from each of you:
> 
> 1. That those who can support the idea become a friend of "William
> FitzArthur" on Face-book and read the material about the new Somerville
> Manor there. The email for the face-book page is
> williamfitzarthur at gmail.commy goal
> is 10,000 friends of the face-book site.
> 2. That you make a written pledge on face-book to donate to the Somerville
> manor re-building fund the value of your next junk-food snack. By skipping
> the snack you will be no less poor than before, and a tad healthier.
> Plus you would be providing a tangible support that carries weight with the
> SBA and large investors. Please don’t send any money now, just a written
> pledge on facebook that you will be willing to make good on at a later date.
> 
> 3. That you actively share this e-mail with your friends and encourage them
> to participate as well. That your friends will share with their friends.
> From a little bit by many, can come great strength even the faith to move
> mountains.
> 
> For those that don’t know me personally please trust the friend that
> forwarded this to you. Check out the face-book page. Get to know me, ask me
> some questions. I know that scammers try things like this, but that should
> not prevent the honest from being able to act. After all I’m not from
> Nigeria; you can see my house on Google maps street view. You can come and
> watch me teach my classes at Utah Valley University. I am a real person and
> am happy to answer any questions you may have. If you are not familar with
> medieval living history check out Guedelon castle in France at
> www.guedelon.fr. to see an example of what can be done in medieval living
> history. I
> 
> I meet next with the SBA on April 2nd 2009; if we can have a ground swell of
> support between now and then on the face-book site, I hope it will help them
> wrap their rather conventional thinking around this idea as a real viable
> option. The price of a candy bar, soft drink, or hamburger is, I believe,
> not to high a price to pay for the creation of a medieval living history
> site that would be open year-round to be enjoyed by all.
