so i get a random message on myspace

Hey Christopher,

I'm working on a photography book right now called 100 Young Americans for photographer Michael Franzini out of Los Angeles. We have shot over 50 teenagers across the country, highlighting American culture. I'm now looking for a HIGHLY devout Christian who is not ashamed to show it. If you want, I am giving you the opportunity to be put in as the teen Christian.

This book will be published by Harper Collins (the largest English language publisher out there) sold in all Barnes and Nobles and Borders across the country.

I assure you this is legit. Here is the link to the photographer's website: www.michaelfranzini.com and the project's website www.100youngamericans.com

Choice is now up to you. Reply back if you are interested and want to here more.

Hey Christopher,

Awesome! Thanks for your interest. So here is a little more information on what we are doing:

This is the latest project from the two time Emmy winning photographer Michael Franzini. He works a lot with MTV and has done many PSA spots.

We have been scouting all over the country trying to find unique and interesting teens who comprise what American Youth culture looks like today. What we are going to end up with is an awesome photography book (like a coffee table book) that will be interviews and full page photographs of 100 Young Americans.

So, here's the deal. If you are chosen, Michael Franzini (our photographer) will be in the Midwest in a week or two photographing other teens from different backgrounds that are also going to be one of the 100 Young Americans. We would set up a time to meet with you for about four hours to interview you and take a bunch of photographs of you as you want to represent yourself. To set this up we would obviously need permission from your parents.

Basically the next step is for you to send us an email with your name, age, contact info, quick bio explainig why you think you would be the best candidate to represent Christianity and most importantly (since this is a photography book) additional photographs of you whether that be hanging out with friends, family, school photos. We are on a very tight schedule to get ready for when we fly out to the Midwest, so we would need this email as soon as possible (preferably today).

Send the email to my co-worker:

johnny@100youngamericans.com

Again, thanks for your interest. Let me know if you have any other questions.
