“Dear Mr. Covel, While I’m sure you always get these types of letters, I would like to tell you my story, because you actually met me and influenced years back. A long time ago, I wrote you an email and you replied and were very responsive and kind, which was surprising (I had heard you were a cocky guy). Anyway, I read all your books, and wanted a chance to learn from one of the greats [and you recommended how to go about that]. Well, I got a chance to meet Mr. [name] very briefly, and while [name] couldn’t bring me on because such a tight shop, you both encouraged me to just continuing knocking down doors. Well, sure enough I got a chance to convince a famous manager to train me (this was before you had your course). Anyway, he took me under his wing as long as I kept him anonymous. Sure enough at the end of 09 and making a killing during my “entrepreneurship,” I decided I had to start my own fund. It’s been a long road, but today I now am running [number] million…So I figured I’d stop on by and pick up your course, to see what you have learned from all those greats. [Also with a group of traders] I will be writing the last few chapters on trading “theology,” a little of my background will be intermixed and I would like to mention you. I know you don’t need brand recognition, but while short sometimes, you did encourage me and lead me down the right path with your writings and correspondence…I know you have large fund clients, but I guess you could indirectly say [I was] one of your readers and [now a] third generation turtle [who] is now running money of his own. My [hope] one day [is that] I’ll be able to have you interview me as [one of a] new generation of trend traders. While the path was the toughest I could imagine, [it was] nevertheless fruitful. Thank you, [name]“
Thanks for the nice words. Don’t stop!
