Description:
My name is Jonathan Ragsdale, Food Network contacted me in regards to a show idea that had thought up. (PBS and Spike TV are also interested) So, I am the brainchild behind a new cooking show. Right now the show is called “The Country Boy’s Kitchen,” yet the name is still up for discussion. The basis of the show is to use products from the store that 75% of Americans use, Wal-Mart, to make dishes and food on a budget. Another point of the show will be to show people that you can find products at your local Wal-Mart that can be used to make wonderful meals. There are numerous avenues to go down with a show like this. I am requesting a sponsorship or investor in the amount of $8,500.00. Now, you are probably wondering what that entails? Well, that is the cost of producing a pilot for the show. In return, I will split ownership of the show 60% for me and 40% for you. The production company owns 50% of the show so this split would be on 50% of the show. People can go right down to their local Wal-Mart and get whatever they see me using on the show. It is a huge marketing bonus for Wal-Mart and for the show as well. The only down side to this whole idea is that I can’t guarantee that the network will pick up the show. I am told that there is a 75% chance that a network will, but no guarantee. I would really appreciate your consideration on this sponsorship request. Please Contact me via phone or email. Thank you and God Bless.
