Conclusion

Thank you for considering this proposal. I am confident that the Chubby Cubby will resonate with your customers and contribute to Sharper Image's reputation for cutting-edge, practical solutions.
I believe my idea of the Chubby Cubby will become a well-known household item that will spread around the globe, making a great impression. This idea was created for the everyday person to use as being something that a must-have item in their home. I predict the sales in the first couple of months to hit in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and only make millions of dollars by the end of the year following the amount of time needed for production and manufacturing.
This invention will become a household name with your help in supporting financing and holding shares in this project.
I am looking for a partner company to buy into my idea and still have shares within this deal as it will make a huge profit once my idea has become a reality and an actual product for the consumer worldwide.
I understand the cost and the finances needed to make this a patent and the time it will take to make my idea an actual selling item, as well as the legal side to this production of my idea. That is why I am not asking for a lot of the shares to this Chubby Cubby but I do want some as this will make make a very nice sum of money and I deserve to be a part of this venture as it is my hard-earned thoughts and time that has gone into this invention as well as for the future of our children and their children after them to carry out this item and what it has and will do for everyone.
I also understand that your company Sharper Image has been part of many great products worldwide, and this is only a tiny speck compared to what your company already has done, but I know this idea could be part of that speck and made into something a lot larger and everyone involved will benefit from it, since everyone on this planet has a kitchen and the components that take up their cupboard space. Everyone will want to own one of these Chubby Cubbys. It’s going to be a household name backed with your gracious label Sharper Image and we all prosper from the success.
I am not sure of the costs of making this Chubby Cubby, as I am not aware of the prices of certain materials needed in making my invention. I do know that bamboo and recycled materials are the best way to make this invention.
