A.R. Horvath has proposed an exercise which he hopes will be interesting to the public as well as beneficial to himself, as well. The idea is to take the habit by some to forward off emails to a gazillion members of their address book and use it for a good purpose. True, it’s mainly good for Horvath, but the sender can feel good, because as is well known, most of those forwards are really good for no one!
If you would like to be part of this campaign or would like to chime in, you can use this page here. Leave notes on how many emails you sent, or perhaps where you live. It will be a novelty to see how far and wide Horvath’s book, “Fidelis,” gets, considering that it is being marketed with a shoestring budget. If you would like to learn more about A. R. Horvath and his book, use the links to the left.
Here is the suggested text for the forward, but of course you’re the one doing the emailing, so do whatever you want!
Suggested Subject: Forward this! I dare you! Or die! ;) Ok, well open it at least… “Fidelis”
Suggested Message:
My name is A.R. Horvath and I am the author of a book named “Fidelis” that is now out and available! Why are you getting this forward? I am a small town fellah and don’t have a lot of resources. This email is part of a campaign to use the Internet in an innovative way. Haven’t you always wondered how far those ‘forwards’ go before they end in the bottomless abyss? Or do they go on forever? Aren’t you in the least curious?
Sure, this is also a shameless attempt to market my book (”Fidelis“) but it’s also meant to entertain public. All I’m asking you to do (”Fidelis“) is to forward this message to your email list like you might already with other useless forwards. ;) Then, come by my site and post where you live and maybe how many people were on your list. I will make an attempt to calculate estimates and together we can see just how far one little forward tree can go!
If you would be more comfortable forwarding this email only after you’ve read the book (”Fidelis“) I completely understand. So buy a copy!
Review it! Forward this email with your review (”Fidelis“) and while you’re at it send a copy of the review to me at author @ birthpangs.com and I’ll post it on my site! (www.birthpangs.com)
So ok, this isn’t a ‘Save this girl from cancer!’ forward, but it is still a chance for you to do a small good, anyway. You have the power to help a ‘little fish’ succeed in midst of big fish mass-marketers. Now that’s gotta be enough to make you feel good enough to forward this email. So go ahead. Just do it. ;) I double-dog dare ya. (”Fidelis“)
Sincerely,
A.R. Horvath

In the comment section below, feel free to give feedback on how many emails you sent out and your general location. Let’s see if “Fidelis” can get known around the world!
P.S. If you’re here because your annoyed that you got a forward, please don’t blame it on me. I didn’t forward it! I didn’t make you open the email! Take it out on the sender, not me! That said, have at it:
