I am Dave Price's Doppelganger
Have you ever watched the CBS Early Show with Dave Price? I have been told that I look like him (see below... that's me). So, in light of that fact, I just sent the following email to him care of the CBS Early Show. Should be interesting to see the reply...
Dear Mr. Price,
Hello. My name is Andrew D'Auria. The reason I am writing to you is because I believe, and have heard from some of my friends and acquaintances, that I am your spitting image. I have attached an photo of myself so that you too can appreciate the resemblance.
You and I should consider how our similar appearances can be used to our mutual advantage. For example, as a journalist of sorts I am sure you know that Saddam Hussein used look alikes to stand in for him at certain public appearances and functions. I could be your doppelganger in situations where your life could potentially be in danger. I would need to be adequately compensated, of course, but therein lies the "mutual" part of this relationship.
I would also consider covering your shifts on The Early Show. I am an outgoing person who would not be shy in front of the camera. No one watching would suspect a thing, and you would be able to take a few days off here and there without having to use your vacation days. You could either pay me for this service, or alternatively you could fill in for me on my job as a Sales Engineer of security software. It's really not that hard and I'm sure you could handle it.
Please consider this matter and reply to this email if you are interested.
Sincerely,
Andrew D'Auria
P.S. Despite ample opportunity, I have not yet taken advantage of my appearance to earn money as a Dave Price celebrity look alike for hire. I have far too much respect for you and our sacred bond to do such a thing.

Before you were Dave Price's doppelganger, you were Robb Hanrahan's. Perhaps you can send the same letter to Robb, changing the name of course. If Robb bites, I would expect a small finder's fee. RD

Remember the Simpson's episode when Milhouse teaches Lisa Simpson Italian.
That was all you, my friend.
