Ohmigawd! This sounds just like the following thread I posted a while back:

I think for an unregistered user (Chris) that a lot was said about what was on our minds. A lot of people work really hard to research organizations and e-mail people as well as compose their own tailored letter to the company. It's unfair for someone to say "me too" and then just change the school name and send the letter. I've probably put in a good 10 to 12 hours myself of research, writing, mailing, etc. If I gave my entire list to someone and they typed it, changed the school name, it would take them, like, 15 minutes. In any event, my list of no's include:
1. Best Buy - only if there is a store in your city.
2. William J. Clinton Presidential Library - cannot accommodate all requests.
3. KB Toys - cannot accommodate all requests.
That's the only no's I've received. I've received about 30 positives and still waiting on about 230 more. Of course, considering I only sent them last week, I'm not worried at all.
