One
Dilemma Update: Today I bought the stamps, paper and envelopes - I didn't realise that these could be so expensive! £7.06 gone in just one purchase! I couldn't buy a pack of ten stamps either, so had to make do with twelve, further eating into the die collateral. I am sure that a use will transpire for these as well at a future date, for the die keeps it all in mind...
Yesterday's options to my dilemma over what I should do with the paper, envelope and stamps I was required to purchase were...
Write to ten newspapers spreading a message of goodwill and happiness (and, of course, news of the Grand Experiment).
Start a chain letter with a difference: write to only 3 people and enclose the stamps for them to write to two other people. Use the last stamp to write to the politician of your choice telling him/her how crap you think s/he is.
Write to ten faded celebrities inviting them to a party in recognition of their contribution to the world of entertainment.
Write to 10 local companies asking for sponsorship of the experiment, and maybe a contribution of a raffle prize.
Write to ten British film related people or institutions with loads of money asking them to donate funds for a new fil you're making.
Write to 5 people chosen at random from the blogring. Use the remaining 5 stamps for SAEs and ask the recipients to send something back to you which will (a) fit into the envelope you've provided (b) be of interest to you, and help further your experiment and (c) won't exceed the postage weight limit for the stamp you've provided.
The result was: One (If I roll a two with the next dilemma, I might have to invest in a new random number generator).
I therefore have to send letters to ten newspapers spreading a message of goodwill and happiness, which is all well and good - I'm sure that I can leave the exact decision over which newspapers down to my own free will, but the actual message is a different matter entirely.
Dilemma Three:
What precisely should I write in this letter? (You have all weekend to consider this one... Your humble Dice Slave will return on Monday, 5.30p.m)
Preferred option:
Dear Sirs,
Please do not blame me for this letter: the die told me to write it. It tells me what to do on a daily basis, and I try my best to do what it says. Today it told me to speak to you, and to tell you about my world.
Even if you do no more than throw this letter in the bin, I beg that you remember and pass on the dies' message of wellbeing and joy: Bundebangles!

Dear Sir,
I'm writing to you with a message of glee;
I hope you're as happy as all men should be.
The world where we live is a wonderful place
And I hope you walk round with a smile on your face.
I hope that you're peaceful with nary a care
And I hope with your readers this message you'll share.
My love to your friends and your family too,
And how lucky they are to be loved, sir, by you.
Don't beat yourself up for mistakes that you've made -
Your intentions were honest, the penalty paid.
Love yourself, love the world, love the sun, love the sky.
I know that I'm right - I was told by the die.

I have no ideas for your letters but I'm just saying I noticed your blog for the first time (I'm slow) and I'm enjying it so far!
Oh, and how come I haven't got a link? Eh? Eh?
Ah, quite right too - it wasn't intentional. I'll add you to the list!
Hmm... tell you what, if you both write a letter each, I'll give you both a link. How's that ;-)

I want you to ask the readership of the newspapers how one can make jam set properly
Dear Mr or Mrs Newspaperperson,
The dice told me to write to you to let you know about his plans for world domination of a happy kind.
The world is filled with sad and lonely people and we all need to make efforts to make them smile. The dice told me so. Please help me to fulfil the dices plan.
