Post by **jarkko** » Tue Aug 17, 2004 3:06 pm

Leonard will be 70 on September 21. The Leonard Cohen Files has
launched a birthday project. You can send your congratulations
in a very special way – and all participants will receive also a memento
for their own collection. If you want to know more, go to

Note: you have to join the project on August 23, latest. After
that our Leonard Cohen stamp cannot be ordered!

Great Idea Jarkko!

I just saw it on the front page, you have succeeded where many have failed. Getting my credit card out of my purse that is

Hi there,

can anybody tell me how to make my contribution to Leonard`s present
if I don`t have a credit card? And Jarkko hasn't responded to my request yet.

Thanks, Catherine.

How did you send me the request for information? I believe I have answered all that I’ve received so far. Anyway, here it comes:

If you cannot use credit card, I suggest you send cash (5 euros or 6 US dollars)
by mail to

Jarkko Arjatsalo
Tahdenlennonkuja 22
02240 Espoo
Finland

Hide the money inside some papers so that it cannot be seen
through the envelope.

If you use this alternative, please let me know by email now,
because the letter itself will arrive after the deadline.

Let me have both the name and mailing address.

All the best
Jarkko
