Valentine's Day is Coming!

Here is the sweetest thing....a widower with a broken heart wants the world to experience what he did with his wife before she died...enter the contest and see what you can win for loving someone so much!

Grieving Millionaire Strikes Again, Challenging New Yorkers to Write Love Letters and Take Free Romantic Horse and Carriage Rides

WHO: For the second year grieving millionaire Henri Zimand challenges New Yorkers and the world to get romantic --particularly on Valentine's Day, which is only 30 days away. Zimand, who lived a cinderella love story with wife Anda, who died of breast cancer, has dedicated his life to creating awareness of the importance of love and cure breast cancer.

In 2005, Zimand, offered New Yorkers 500 free carriage rides in Central Park and gave the winner (NYPD cop John Briano and wife Kathleen) of the love letter contest a first class trip to Monte Carlo. This year he is upping the ante, offering 1000 carriage rides and opening the love letter competition to the world. 15 romantic couples will be flown to New York and all finalists will be eligible to win prizes ranging from trips, iPods to jewelry.

WHAT/WHERE/WHEN:

a) Love letter contest: entries until January 30. See love letter contest information at http://www.andaspiritusa.com. Winners announced early February.

b) Free horse and carriage rides (at Columbus Circle) from February 11-14: Apply for a voucher at http://www.andaspiritusa.com. First 1000 applicants will get rides.

WHY: Zimand is personally paying for the entire promotion, a non-commercial venture. Every year he and his wife came to New York for Valentine's Day and took a romantic horse and carriage ride in Central Park. "My hope is to spread the word of how enduring love and support can get you through the hardest times. Love is the most important thing in life," stated Zimand and "Valentine's Day is the day to express your love."
