I did something like this too. I was an 18-year-old McDonald's cashier in Vancouver, BC. I sent a letter to the then-president of McDonald's for all of Canada, asking for a letter of reference. He called my managers, asked for feedback, and sent me the letter! So true!

It is true, you just don't know until you ask, and its always worth a try. Beside, Mr B is a bloody nice guy with his feet firmly on the ground. Great story, thanks for sharing.

The deeper point surely is this: be certain the right people are listening before asking an audacious question. Politicians have accrued much experience with this strategy, and the bruises to prove it. Good observation indeed.

It's so true...so many people limit themselves and never push the envelope. You never know what the answer will be until you ask, at least give people the chance to tell you "no" rather than deciding for them what they'll answer. And sometimes even a "no" answer isn't the end-all. busygaltips.blogspot.com I love this! It’s so true…so many people limit themselves and never push the envelope.

Saying yes gets publicity, saying no would probably not be reported. If he is going anyway the costs are already spent. Smart move. Plus he is the sort of guy that is interested in people, so probably had a more interesting trip than normal. Sir RIchard never misses an opportunity for free publicity.
