Thinking of emailing Dale

All - I'm new at all this, but I'm thinking about writing a very detailed letter to Dale, telling him what all we've found as well as asking some questions about everything. I could post my draft here, if you think it might be worthwhile, but if you all think it's a bad idea, just let me know first. I don't want to ruin anything or make him upset at us (or me, for that matter). Let me know your thoughts... thanks.

my draft

I know it's long, so please give me any feedback...thanks. Rolling Eyes

Hello Dale,
My name is Lisa and I was one of the people you emailed for help prior to your being sent to Klepsydra. I really just wanted to say hello and run down some things with you to make sure we've got all the facts straight. Before I get into everything, How are you doing? Have you been seeing your friends a lot lately, Bruce, Sam, Wes, etc? I know it is always best to be with people when you aren't feeling yourself and it seems that you have at least a few very close friends that would be eager to spend some time with you. Anyway, we are all concerned about your welfare and only hope to be able to "solve" this puzzle that has been set out before you. Here's a brief synopsis of where we've been and where we stand.
Your original email was sent. We checked your website where we found your diary and your readonly email login. From this we found multiple websites to peruse including, Anonymous Fame (Bruce's company), Aglaura New Jersey (your town), Collective Protective (your insurance agency), Ash Grove Park (amusement park where you spent Valentine's Day), Mid Jersey Mobile, and the HIP Project.
When we looked at Anonymous Fame we also found another website: Empty Threats (Restaurant owned by Sons of Don). This one has us intrigued - is this company (SOD) where you went for money? Are they the ones that have sent you emails saying they haven't forgotten about you, etc? I think we may need more info on this if you can provide it. Their website seems very interesting...their "waste removal" service seems sorta fishy, so if you know anything about it, let us know.
At the Aglaura website we found Sam, the Library (Ms. Dobbs), the Lake of Tears, the Hollow Needle (Mrs. Willingham), and the Emporium of the Weird (Wes Keller). The library seems like a nice place, Ms. Dobbs seems to be friendly and the Pine Barren Poets Society is very interesting - if you have anything to add about this, please do. The Lake of Tears hasn't provided much info...I know that one of the investigators seems to have talked some with Wes about some spirit that lingers there - do you know anything about this? The Hollow Needle seems interesting but not very forthcoming. Mrs. Willingham is a strange bird to say the least, she sure isn't too pleased with some of the current technology and insists on extreme courtesy and respect. I guess I can't blame her, but she could be a bit more friendly... They seemed to have found some type of trunk while renovating the library that Mrs. Willingham now has in her possesion, but we STILL haven't found out what is in it, or if there is anything interesting about the contents. The Emporium of the Weird is well, just that. I wish I lived in New Jersey so that I could come visit it because I am totally into that strange stuff, but alas I don't, so we are just thriving on what Wes has provided to us. There have been a few messages on the Bumper Stickers he has posted which we've deciphered and the disc he found on his last Jersey Devil trip seems interesting, so I guess we'll see about that. We're still waiting to see more info from Wes and/or Mayor Dobbs about the recent graffiti that has been seen around town. I hear the two of them aren't too agreeable together so it'll be interesting to see what differences the two of them come up with. Do you have any ideas about the graffiti? It seems to have come about since your accident, do you think there is a connection? Have you seen the image anywhere before, do you recognize it? Oh, also, the Mayor let us in on where you were staying...Klepsydra, so we've checked out their website too. That is where we found your doctor, Michelle Kendra. She seems very kind and seems to genuinely believe in your story. Being a doctor I'm sure has her a little on the fence since there is no real "proof" of your version of the story, but I think we're on our way to swaying her and she may prove to be a lot of help in figuring out what REALLY happened that day.
Which brings me to Collective Protective and Greatwater General. We engaged Sam's help in retrieving some info from Collective Protective so that we could get more details from Greatwater General. They still have your belongings (unless you've now retrieved them) but we did finally get to see a picture of them. We saw your note to Diana (not sure what that is...) and the ticket from Ash Grove Park. First off, the number on the ticket gave us access to a couple of videos of Meaghan on the rides there that day. This has proven so far to be the MOST important evidence we've found in proving your story! The timestamps on the videos are 4:33pm which was verified by the park's PR guy, Brent Bowers. This means that we can prove that Meaghan was alive when the accident *supposedly* occurred. So far (I believe) we've sent the videos to Bruce and Dr. Kendra for their examination. Bruce just responded about them and he seems to be totally in awe. I think he may be coming around to believing your side of the story, which is just GREAT, but we may need to give him some time to digest the info. We need all the help we can get and we don't want him to feel like we're pushing anything on him. We do need more info about this Digitalis guy (Fortune Teller) at Ash Grove Park. He seems to be a very important part of this story but we can't seem to get in contact with him. Brent, the PR guy, says that he's inquired after him for us for a while but that he seems to have disappeared. Dale, when you saw the wish, did he look like Digitalis? If not, did he give you the same kind of "vibe" that you got from him? We think he may be key to finding the wish, so it's important to know everything you can tell us about him, what he said to you that day, why you ran into him, etc, etc...
Also, can you be more forthcoming about some of the websites that you visited, or books that you read after the accident while investigating the wish? Is that where you found mythosphere.org? We've seen their emails and found Orunmila, but it doesn't seem to all add up. Is there more that you can tell us? We're just bursting at the seams to really dig our fingers into some of the references that you've found and see if as a collective group we can find that pattern that you reference in the email you've recently sent to some people. Who is the potentially postitive contact that you've made? I know you mentioned putting all this in a web format for us all to view, but I wanted to let you know what we've found so far and ask some questions so that maybe we can give you some direction on further info we're interested in so far...
I hope I haven't been too pushy or anything, especially given that you are still healing. Anything we can do to help you Dale, all you have to do is ask. We're looking forward to talking to you on AIM or Yahoo Messenger. Thanks!

I really like this Kyra. It's comprehensive without getting bogged down too much in minutia.

and

I still haven't heard anyone identify the girl in the video as Meaghan - who knows what she looks like.

I hesitated to ask dale to look at the movies, but if he does, he might confirm that for us.

dang

oh well. so much for that spec...

he doesn't specifically mention her, and it's minutely possible that it's not, and Bruce is participating in a scam of a sort we don't know yet,

but good enough for me. I'll drop it.

bruce

still don't trust Bruce...don't really know why...gut feeling. From the moment he was mentioned in the guide when I was catching up I've felt he is not REALLY a friend. Too connected to The Don. so don't know if we should be encouraging Dale to trust him. No proof just feeling. He is in just too pivotal a position. Could easily manipulate the situation to get Dale in trouble financially and professionally. IMO

I agree with you, but i don't think we should blatantly warn Dale away from someone he's known and been friends with for years...that may decrease his trust in us...If you can think of a gentle way to *ask* about whether Dale has some hesitancy in trusting Bruce, I'm all for it. let me know, otherwise, I'll probably send off tonight.
