- Stefano Albertini - 02-12-2000
I am the director of New York University's Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò and we have recently received as a gift an extraordinary collection of Chateau Lafite Rothschild wine. We decided to raffle it in order to increase our endowment that provides us with the much needed funds to support our ongoing series of events dedicated to the promotion of Italian and Italian-American culture. I am sure you see the irony behind a precious collection of French wine raffled to support Italian culture.
Please, read the following announcement and if you need further information, please contact me via e-mail or phone. I look forward to hearing from you and I thank you in advance for your support.
Sincerely,
Stefano Albertini
Director
with great pleasure Casa Italiana
announces
that it will be raffling off an
important gift recently received
by Casa Italiana
a splendid, complete forty-year
vertical (1959-1998) collection
of one bottle each of legendary
Chateau Lafite
Rothschild wine
We have decided to raffle this rare
donation, "The Perfect Millennium
Gift," to add $100,000.00 to the Casa
Endowment Fund by the sale fo 200
subscriptions at $500.00 each. Limited
thus to the 200 subscribers the odds
are quite good.
A drawing will be held on May 9, 2000, with the winner
immediately notified.

chance at this once in a lifetime
opportunity,
