chocolates contact courtney cox figured knew letter letters loves needed people requests response role round sent stars stood top
My role was to contact the celebrities. I knew that these people get so many requests that I really needed to do something that stood out. So I went to Hoffman's Chocolates and had them do a chocolate star. Then I put my letter on top of that. The first round I sent out 25 chocolate stars with letters packed in coolers. I figured everyone loves chocolate and it would get people's attention. Considering how many we sent out, the response has been pretty unbelievable. Courtney Cox sent a handwritten thank-you note. Isn't that incredible?

It feels great. It's awesome. We knew we were going to get one.
