This year, after decades of failures at Eurovision, Switzerland has decided to try a new approach to selecting its candidate for Eurovision: a competition open to public voting.
 
And this is why I am writing to you: the band I play in, "Tiger the Lion" is a candidate to represent Switzerland at the Eurovision finals - to be held in Berlin next spring, 2011.
 
But we need your support to succeed: until 10 November, people can vote online for their favourite Swiss entry and a shortlist of 12 will play on Swiss Television in December for the winner to be chosen.
 
We need as many people to vote for us (you find us under "Tiger the Lion") on this site (you can give up to four votes) : http://www.eurovisionplattform.sf.tv/videos/ .
 
But first you need to register on the site. A pdf explanation in English on how to vote is available on the same page where you can see our video and listen to the song: http://www.eurovisionplattform.sf.tv/videos/the_secret_ballad_of

We need as many votes as possible, so PLEASE VOTE FOR US!!!

Many-Many...Many Thanks
