Dear Macedonians and friends of Macedonia,
In April 2009, a group of about 300 scholars from several countries, most of them experts on ancient history, sent an open letter to the President of the Unites States of America, Barack Obama, as well as to other politicians around the world in which they claim that since ancient Macedonia was "Greek", present day Macedonians "do not have the right" to the ancient history of Macedonia and to the name Macedonia.
This letter is massively spread all over Internet even now, almost a year after it first immerged, and it continuous to damage the reputation of Macedonia in the eyes of readers not familiar with this matter by misstating and falsifying historic facts. The Macedonian media has had extensive coverage of this letter, but no government or private institution has reacted so far seriously with arguments against the content of this letter.
However, an answer to the above mentioned letter to President Barack Obama has been by the Macedonian historian Aleksandar Donski of the Institute of History and Archeology from the University "Goce Delchev" from Shtip. In his answer to the letter, using factual arguments, the author has denied all of the false claims made in the letter sent to President Barack Obama. By using quotations from authentic ancient sources, Aleksandar Donski proved that this letter is full with manipulations, one-sided interpretations, and even notorious lies from the pro-Greek authors that wrote it.
The Answer prepared by Mr. Donski entitled "The Ancient Macedonians were not Greeks" will soon be published in two separate publications - one in Macedonian and one in English. The material is translated and lectured in fluent English by a professional translator. Each of the materials will have about 80 pages (A5 format) with full-color soft cover. Copies of the publication in English, except to President Obama, will also be sent to numerous other important people and institutions all over the world (politicians, mediums, universities...). Copies of the publication will also be sent to all pro-Greek signatories of the letter, as well as to their Rectors, Deans and other heads of educational institutions where these 300 signatories of the letter are employed, with the aim of showing their employers how much of "experts" their employees (the signatories of the letter) are, by reveling all of the false data and lies they used to make the claims that they made in the letter they sent to President Obama.
We are inviting you and your company to take action in this Macedonian patriotic deed of spreading the Macedonian historical truth all over the world. The price of one copy of the brochure "The Ancient Macedonians were not Greeks" in preliminary purchase is only 3,000 (three) USD. The price includes shipment of the brochure from Macedonia to any country in the world! This means that if you, for example, contribute 100 USD, you will receive 33 copies of the brochure. You can choose to give copies of the brochure as a present relatives or friends, or if you wish, you can even sell these brochures to others or donate them to local libraries or schools.
In addition, if you contribute, the name of your company will be mentioned as one of the sponsors of this brochure and will forever be known to all future generations of the Macedonians. This same privilege, of course, can also be extended to individuals, if they contribute choose to be mentioned as sponsors. Please send this message to others that you think maybe interested in this. For more information or if you have any questions, feel free to contact Mr. Aleksandar Donski at the email address found below.

I think its a great initiative by Donski. It should be suported by all Macedonians. But I would like to sugest, Donski get more than 300 signitures before he sends a copy to Obama. What do the rest of you think?
