KATY MARTEL 

Hi Pat! I’m a HUGE fan of The Maine. I have listened to your music since 2008 and I finally saw you like this April in Tampa, but couldn’t make it to the performance in Orlando last weekend. My friend Angie is probably your biggest fan and it was just her birthday yesterday and I was wondering if you could possibly give a shout out on twitter,on tumblr, a video on facebook or anyway possible because it would probably give her a heart attack haha! I mean if you could do anything that would make my life. By the way, if you guys aren’t doing anything in March and want to take a vacation to Florida that would be great. My high school is in the top ten Relay For Lifes in the nation and we raised over $130,000 for cancer last year. It’s a big deal at our school and this year I’m a captain of a team. During the event there is a talent competition and other performances. If you are interested in performing, I guess use this email and let me know. I highly doubt this will be taken serious since I’m a junior in high school, but it would mean a lot to Angie, to me, and to the cause of finding a cure for cancer.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
Katy

PK- Happpy birthday Angie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are going to be working on an album but that sounds like a great thing you are doing. Keep it up!!!!
