This is a text copy of a letter written to Mike Matthews by an enthusiastic fan from Keiv-Ukraine.

THE LETTER
Hello, dear Mr. Matthews!
My name is Enno. I am 27 years old. I live in Kiev, the country - Ukraine.
I play guitar in electro-rock band. For 2 years I use only your effect pedals.

From the first time I realized that the sound of Electro-Harmonix - is my sound, with whom I and my music will grow and develop. This weekend I bought a HOG pedal. Random. I went into the store and could not resist this pedal. On this day, I just got paid. So, I took all the money that I had and bought a HOG! On the way from the store to home I became upset, because completely no money left for the next month. But! When I turned on the HOG at home, I totally forgot about the money! I felt such joy as a child! Thats why I writing you this naive letter, like to Santa Claus! :-) Only emotions without etiquette!
Thank you for your work! Thank you for all the guitarists in the world music that I grew up!
Music - an integral part of my heart, and Electro-Harmonix - an integral part of music.
This means that you are also a part of my heart and running through my blood!
As soon as I could afford it, I immediately bought English Muff’n, then Echo #1, and now the HOG. I am sure they will be with me throughout my life. When I recovering from the financial impact by HOG, I will buy foot controller for it ... I think in winter :-)

Now I tell everyone Kiev musicians about the magnificence of HOG pedal. It turned out that none of my friends Ukrainian guitarists do not use HOG (should be noted that I know a lot of them and I live in the capital). And generally in Ukraine they know little about Electro-Harmonix and looks on your pedals as a sort of exotic pieces. I can not understand why this happens ...
In Ukraine, there is only one normal store, where you can buy EHX units. The most that I can do - is to tell about Electro-Harmoniks as many people as I can. That’s what I’m doing. I hope so, I take little part in your great work!

So! I sincerely thank you for what you have! What you do not given up! What continues to make for all of us as old and new devises! I wish you good health! And keep rocking! The world needs you and your team!

Greetings from Ukraine!
Sincerely yours, Enno Koyalo.

P.S. I think that this letter is unlikely to reach Mike Matthews, but sent it anyway! I think that Mr. Matthews would be pleased to read it - is unlikely to come from the Ukraine a lot of letters. Thanks to the whole Electro-Harmonix team! You are cool!
