**This letter was received after Kimberly received a fanbook full of letters and thoughts after her AI2 elimination.**

To all my FANTASTIC fans!

THANK YOU so very, very much for my incredible Fan Book that I received today! I sat down and read it from cover to cover and, I have to tell you that I was sobbing with tears of happiness through the whole thing. It was absolutely overwhelming to read the words of love, encouragement and support that each of you took the time to put into the book. That's the kind of stuff that makes any effort that I've put into what I do all worth it! I honestly was so tired and exhausted from the months in LA and the whirlwind trip to New York that I didn't know if I could keep going, but after reading through my book, I was ready to roll! Now I know that anytime I feel a little down or tired, all I'll have to do to boost myself up is read the gift of your words to me!! I also want you to know how much I absolutely LOVE my fan sites - Kimberly Caldwell Idolized run by Kristin, KimCaldwell.org run by Travis, Kimberly Caldwell Central run by Erin, and my Fan Club site on Yahoo run by Paula. Anytime I've been down during the past couple of months, I look on my fan sites and get an immediate spirit boost!! And the graphics that you all have come up with are so incredibly great! WOW! I love them and my Mom prints out lots of stuff to show me when I'm out of town, which is where I have been all but about two days of the last two months! I really wish that I had the time to call or write to each of you personally to let you know how much your support and enthusiasm means to me, but I just found out today that I'll be heading back to LA next Monday for some upcoming events, meetings, auditions, etc. (I promise to fill all of you in on all of that as soon as I'm allowed to!) It doesn't look like I'll be having any down time for awhile to come! But that's GOOD news. Things are happening that I'm really excited about and I'll be doing everything I can to make sure that you haven't seen the last of me!

Thanks for the love and for believing in me!

My love and appreciation to ALL of you!!!

Kimberly
