I made a few changes. Hopefully it helps.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing you this letter to inform you that a gentleman from Southern California along with several other gentlemen from a Radio-Controlled Vehicle website (rc-monster.com) banded together as one with one common goal in mind: to build the coolest, cheapest and most reliable third world wheelchair in existence. I believe we have successfully accomplished our mission. My name is Shaun (TDC57) and here is our story!

RC-Monster is a website that specializes in converting dirty, smelly and ozone depleting Nitro fuel vehicles to clean, re-renewable electrical power. RC-Monster.com has a way of attracting the BEST and BRIGHTEST individuals within in the industry and throughout the world.

After spending nearly a year at RC-Monster.com building extremely high-end and high dollar one of a kind builds while gaining the respect and admiration of many others, I decided it was time to utilize the team talents for the betterment of humanity. If we can build the best of the best radio controlled vehicles, we can band together with our talents and better the world, one person at a time, by giving them the gift of mobility. What greater gift is there than the opportunity to give someone improved self esteem and the opportunity to better themselves?

This chair that we, the RC-Monster team, proudly present to the world is constructed out of 1” schedule 40 PVC. We chose the PVC for the construction due to the fact that it is readily available, cheap, light, extremely strong, and should last for many years. The main cost of material for the actual build itself totals $78.83 at Home Depot. The rear wheels are mountain bike tires with an outer push rim that sells for $50.00 per pair, the front wheels (6”x2”) casters were purchased at Orchard supply hardware for $15 each, and the seat chosen for the project cost $19.00 bringing the total cost of the chair (retail) to $177.83, not including the two – three hours of labor for assembly and spray paint utilized on this project.

Our chair can be shipped in a normal bike size cardboard box, and actually comes with the opportunity for the end user to customize the foot and head rests to best suit their individual needs. I have included pictures from the beginning to the end showing our complete process for your review and comments.

I hope you find this chair worthy enough to contact me back for a meeting so that I / we may have the opportunity to introduce this chair to the world. Often people state that one individual has the power to change / better the world for others. Well we are those individuals and we sincerely hope this will change the world one person at a time.

Thank you for your time

Sincerely yours Shaun P Bogel / RC-Monster team
