Loving Jacqui Asks for Your Help

UPDATED in late summer, 2009: See the “Why This Bear-Themed Website?” section on the sidebar.  →  →  → 

So this part is moot. I’m keeping this online because it fits the original theme and purpose of the website and it is in addition to being my video and picture gallery, after all, an archive.

Therefore don’t make a donation. In the unlikely event you do, I’ll just turn around and donate the net money I receive to a charity of my choice, probably on non-religious pro-life causes (like adoption).

The passage below was written years ago.


“Our Goal Is to Be Together Permanently… If You Want to Help, You Can Help Me In My Desire to Find a Quality Sales Position in Victoria, BC, Canada

Dear “Loving Jacqui” Friend,

What would it feel like to help make this love happen?

I want to unite with Jacqui  in a lifelong way. 

We’ve been growing increasingly fond of each other for over 4 years especially after having met in person in Perth from January to April of 2006. Want to help?

More than anything else, we can use your moral support. So leave a comment on our blog or, if you’re uncommonly shy, email me your thoughts and I’ll pass them onto Jacqui personally.

You can help financially by making a donation. I’ve had people give as little as $8 and this added up so I could pay the passport fee passport and put it toward travel. Plus getting a donation from a stranger who liked our site and wanted us to meet each other and succeed in love was a tremendous morale boost. Thank you people who contributed!

I’m looking for sales position or something closely related to it. If you want to see what I have to offer, visit my business site. And if you don’t have a need for an effective salesperson yourself, you can go to ChristophDollis.com and use my referral feature under the green tab up top to refer business owners, sales managers, and expansion-minded executives to contact me so I can earn money for them.

Sixty women respond to man’s ‘Wife Wanted’ sign in yard
GRAND RAPIDS, MICH • A Michigan man who placed a sign in his front yard advertising for a wife has found a match. Steve Horowitz, 53, who dated nearly 60 women after putting up the “Wife Wanted” sign, told the Grand Rapids Press, “I think this really could be the one. It’s a bizarre way to meet somebody, but I never would have met this women otherwise.”

As I type these words I look to the wall to my left and see them. Come to think of it, I’m going to stop and take a picture of it and post it below.

In life I believe things are possible. I often meet people who tell me things can’t be done. I ask, “Why not?”

If they tell me why not, I ask, “What about all the people who are actually doing it? What do they know that you and I don’t? And why can’t we learn to do it ourselves?”

They never really have a good answer to that one.

Kind regards,

Christoph

P.S. Who knows, perhaps one day you’ll be invited to receive photos of a certain memorable event that causes Jacqui to dress up and provokes me to kiss her in front of everyone she knows, even her grandparents.
