			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear James, </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I wanted to thank you and the whole band for the three awesome shows I witnessed during your tour with Edguy.</p>
<p> There&#8217;s so much energy when you’re on stage and your personality can only be described as magnetic. I was immediately taken by your music and the band’s charisma.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s wonderful to see how much every one of you seems to enjoy what your doing and I was very moved by the way you appreciate the music and how you treat your fans. For example, there were the three girls you took on stage in Essen. They looked so happy and I&#8217;m sure they had the time of their lives.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I think it&#8217;s so sweet of you to take so much time to sign stuff, take pictures and have a chat with everyone after the show. It was such a pleasure to meet you and being able to tell you that I dreamed of your songs during the night before your concert in Bamberg and that this dream made me feel so much better <br /> I&#8217;m sorry if I appear a little cheesy, but you truly made an impression on me. It&#8217;s almost like I was able to take some of your vitality with me.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I wanted to try to give you something back by telling you how much I appreciated your performance and meeting the whole band in Bamberg. I&#8217;m so glad that I finally discovered your music and I am already addicted to it. (: It just makes me feel good about myself, I really can&#8217;t help it!</p>
<p> Can&#8217;t wait to see you on stage with Scorpions again this friday. I&#8217;ll be there with my Dad, it&#8217;s my birthday present for him.</p>
<p> Oh I almost forgot: The pick you used during Time To Say Goodbye hit my cleavage.    Thank you again. I’ll cherish it!  </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Lots of love from Switzerland, <br /> Nadine</p>
