Dear Ms. Fortune A. Davies:My name is Cleopatra Edison Oliver, I am in the 5th grade, and I am most likely your biggest fan in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!! I have been watching Fortune with my mom since I was three years old. Seeing you on TV is actually my VERY FIRST memory! Can any other fan say that?!Ms. Davies, you talk about purpose a lot. You say yours is "Delivering Destinies and Financing Futures." I have a future in business. I know I do. First of all, there is my name, which I got from my birth mom. (Is it true that you find the pharaohs of Egypt fascinating?) Personally, I LOVE my name because Cleopatra was a very powerful woman (just like you!). Not only am I named after a queen and ruler, but my initials are CEO, and I'm a Capricorn (just like you!), the zodiac's top business achievers. So, Ms. Davies, as you can clearly see, ruling companies is my destiny!I have tons of ideas for what I will do with the money I make, starting with a special theme park for adopted kids and their families. If I had a dollar for every time my parents said I'd rule the house if they let me, I'd be rich already! But clearly, I am not in charge yet. Today I got in trouble for something, and my mom took away my business for a whole day. Did you ever feel like your parents didn't understand you? What did you do?I am currently the president and CEO of my very own company, Cleopatra Enterprises, Inc. (I hope you don't mind that it sounds sort of like Fortune Enterprises, Inc.) I have had many product lines over the years, but right now I am focused on avocados. I always give away ten percent of what I make, just like you say in Fortune Principle Number Ten.This past spring I learned all about what it means to be a CEO when I did a report on "the most influential person in your life." I chose YOU, of course! I am a member of your Fortune's Kids Club and have written to you many times through your website. Your replies have told me to keep watching because you might read my message on your show, and I have--every day at 4 o'clock! You haven't read any of mine on TV yet, but that's okay. I am confident you will very soon!I know you are SUPER busy running all your businesses, starting schools in other countries, and being on TV, but if you could write me back with the answer to just one very important question, it would make me so excited and happy. I would take your letter to school and show it to EVERYONE. I would frame your letter and hang it on my wall FOREVER. :) :) :) And this is my question: What is the most important thing to do when you're my age if you want to be a huge success like Fortune A. Davies???Ms. Davies, if you are ever in Los Angeles, I hope you will stop by CLEOPATRA'S AWESOME AVOCADO STAND ("The best avocados in all of Altadena Heights!"). You will get a bag of my best avocados--on the house, of course!Your biggest fan--if I had a million dollars (and one day I will) I'd bet on it,Cleopatra Edison OliverCleopatra Edison Oliver, CEO (the next Fortune A. Davies!!!)P.S. I have memorized all ten Fortune Principles for How to Build Your Business and Live the Life You Want. Thanks for all the great advice!P.P.S.
