Dear Brian,

As chairperson o the International Country Music Association Awards Committee, it brings me great pleasure to inform you one of your songs has qualified for very prestigious award. "Car Song", which is posted on your personal page of our website, has been listened to more than fifty thousand times (50,000)! Congratulations! You hav4e joined a highly selective group of songwriters. Only a very small percentage of writers have achieved this great level of success.

The Awa4rds Committee of the International  Country Music Association has reviewed our internal files and voted unamonously to approve you for this great honor. We have authorized The Gold Standard award to commemorate your wonderful achievement.

Be certain to include a photo of you holding your award the next you send you a CD to a record company or agent. 

Sincerely,

Colonel Bobbie Patterson, 

Chairperson

International Country Music Association Awards Committee
