Dear Republicans, world news media, and others attending the Republican National Convention in Cleveland:

We hope you are planning to have a good time when you come to Cleveland in mid-July for the Republican National Convention.  When you wrote us in Cleveland and told us you were coming, we started getting things ready for you.  We want you to have a good time.  We know most of you will have your hands full doing the business that you bring with you.  I'll let you do the work you want to do in that regard.

However, I thought I'd mention a couple of things you should know before you come to Cleveland.  Maybe you don't know much about us in this city.  But we have a lot to offer. Call us if you decide to come early.  We will meet you when you get into town.

At any rate, watch the video that accompanies this letter and you will see the visual postcard I put together for you and any other visitors coming to town.  We'll keep the light on for you.

                   Sincerely, Leon Bibb, WEWS, NewsChannel 5, Cleveland

P.S.  We are awfully glad you're coming.  Feel free to spend as much money as you want.  There are plenty of places in Cleveland to spend it.  Take care.
