>Dear Friends

>Attached is information about an upcoming event that I am helping
>organize with a group whose cause I am very much behind. I realize
>that its short notice as it is starting to be the season for company
>holiday parties, which have a way of taking over available Saturday
>nights in December. I also realize that the requested donation of
>$100 for the dinner may be a bit much during the holidays. OK, so
>what can I tell you that would gently persuade you to seriously
>consider attending and or passing the invitation along to friends who
>would perhaps themselves be interested?
>
>This event is a benefit for Emergency, a non-political/non-partisan
>humanitarian organization whose mission is to provide (free)
>healthcare and access to medical facilities to individuals who are
>victims of war (a.k.a. the real faces of "collateral
>damage"). Emergency was founded in the early 1990's by an Italian
>physician originally to address the devastation caused to individuals
>by land mines remaining after conflicts. Today we have medical
>facilities and personnel in a number of countries around the
>world. The organization is comprised almost entirely of volunteers
>and maintains an extremely low overhead (thus the need for fundraising).
>
>The event will be intimate and held at the home of one of our members
>who happens to have an amazing art collection. Dinner will be
>catered by a chef friend of mine - the food on the planned menu will
>be exquisitely delicious. There will be entertainment (a tabla
>musician), a silent auction and beautiful handmade Afghan crafts on
>display and for sale. Undoubtedly there will be interesting,
>stimulating conversation. I almost forgot to mention that your
>contribution is tax-deductible.
>
>More details can be found below and in the attached flyer...
>I would be happy to speak with you more about the group or answer any
>additional questions about the event.
>
>Thank you, in advance, for your consideration, and by all means,
>please pass the word along to anyone you think might be interested.

>With extreme respect and gratitude,

>>A Little Bit About EMERGENCY:

>>Many of us realize that war, landmines, and the social consequences

>>worldwide. EMERGENCY was established in 1994 to come to the aid of
>>these victims of armed conflict. Since then, led by surgeon and
>>co-founder Dr. Gino Strada, the medical teams of EMERGENCY have
>>intervened in war zones with humanitarian initiatives in favor of
>>the victims, and have provided medical and surgical assistance to
>>over two million people injured because of war.
