Description

[Amira]

Confirmed we are sending an Hour of Code email on Nov 24th to the mentor bsd list (10k) and anyone who signs up for the skill sharer badge bsd list (unknown number as of yet but expected to be <1000). 

Lainie/Paul to share copy and bsd email. 
Kelli to review both before sending.

Hi Kelli - 

Still waiting for the final link to the landing page, but here is the copy for the Hour of Code email on Nov. 24 (on line 35) https://etherpad.mozilla.org/hourofcode2014comms

We have two potential headlines - would love your thoughts on which seems better. 

Also confirming two other things (sender and activity link), but appreciate your feedback in the meantime!

Heya Lainie, thanks so much for sending this along! Is it possible to finalize the link or landing page by Thursday of this week?

I think the sl 'Join the largest learning event in history' is the better of the two listed. Also, I apologize, but could you add the last name of whichever sender you want? I don't want to mess up any names!

And Lainie are you the person I should send the sample to? To double check links & proof & such?

Thanks all!

Hi Kelli - So sorry I thought I responded to this.

Yes, the landing page link is here https://welcome.webmaker.org/signup/hourofcode2014/

Let's go with Join the largest learning event in history...

You can send the sample to me!

Thanks Kelli! 

The HTML looks good to me and links in both are working :)

In the plain text version, is there a way to adjust the spacing at all or call out the bullets differently? 
The "Help us demystify code..." sentence could have a break before it. Also the parts that start with "Beginners" and "Intermediate" are indented, but the spacing looks a little confusing.

Otherwise it's good for me.

As we move to deprecate the Webmaker Product from Bugzilla, I'm going to close down this issue, which hasn't seen activity in a very long time. 

If more work is required here, please re-file this in an appropriate Product/Component/Github Issue.
