  Dear Travis,

  I want to thank you for an energized, delightful, and 
  thoroughly professional appearance on my show last
  Thursday.

  Grumpuss is an instant classic.  I was bowled over by the
  first-class level of writing and performance, and perfectly
  orchestrated musical accompaniment on the taped 
  version.  And your live performance was just as
  miraculous.  You really are one of our story-telling
  masters, Travis, and your talent is nothing less than
  extraordinary.

  I will show the taped version to friends that may be of
  help to you.  There is no reason under the stars that
  Grumpuss should not be an animated feature for all to
  enjoy on a major television network, as well as an
  illustrated children's book.  I am convinced that
  Grumpuss is destined for celebrity status.

  Thanks again—the honor was all mine.
