SALE TO HELP AN ELDERLY MOTHER ---------------- Dear Sugi:
I need your help. Many of you know my niece died a few weeks ago. Last week, I got more bad news. My best friend Astrid, died suddenly from a massive stroke. She was only 54 yrs old and this was totally unexpected. Astrid lived in the US but her 86 yr old mother lives in Colombia, South America and depended on support from Astrid, who was her only child. With Astrid's sudden death, Emma is penniless. Astrid was the most hard working woman I've ever known, was a devout Christian, who dedicated her life to helping others. I know she would want me to help her mother, so I will be doing everything I can to support Emma. But we aren't wealthy, so I can't do it all alone, which is why I need your help.
I've created a Coupon " ASTRID " to use for a Sale of 50% off any Retail item. Every penny from every sale will go directly to Emma. Customers should enter the Coupon ASTRID at Check Out and the site will automatically deduct 50 %. There is no time limit on the sale, which will last until Emma can collect the pension Astrid would have received in Colombia, if she had lived.
Many of you write posts on Forums or other websites, so please post this information in as many places as possible. This is being done for a wonderful, elderly lady who I love dearly and done in honor of my dear friend Astrid. Even if you can't purchase anything yourself, please share this information with everyone you know. People will save a lot of money and help a precious, elderly mother at the same time.
I'm sending this email to ALL of my customers, Wholesale and Retail, in hopes of spreading the word as widely as possible. I will know which purchases apply, from the name of the Coupon and you can be confident, all money will go to Emma. I've never done anything like this before and if you know me, you know the situation is urgent or I wouldn't be asking for your help.
Thank you all in advance for anything you can do to spread the word. Ann

SALE FOR EMMA
I want to thank everyone for sharing the Sale with others and for purchasing items to help
Emma. Because of the bad economy, there have been fewer sales than I hoped for, with orders
totaling $342 through last Sunday. I've committed to $800 per month to support Emma until
she's able to get Astrid's Colombian Pension. Last week, I added money to the proceeds from
the Sale and sent a money gram to Emma. I'm keeping records of the names and addresses
of everyone who bought items to help support her and will send that list to her, when the Sale
Ends. She's too old to send Thank You notes to everyone but please know, she's Very, Very
grateful for all of you who helped. THE SALE WILL END Sunday March 7th, 2010 at midnight.
If you haven't yet ordered but still want to, please place your order before the Sale ends.
If you participate in forums or blogs, please let everyone know when the Sale will end.
SPECIAL THANKS TO MY WHOLESALE CUSTOMERS
I recognize that each purchase may have caused you to lose a sale, for your retail business.
I hope you understand that was not my intention and I can't thank you enough, for being
so understanding of my efforts to help Emma. Soon I will do something special for my
wholesale customers, to thank you. I haven't yet decided what to do but please watch
for a future email, with details of how I will show you my appreciation.
Most sincere thanks to the best customers on earth
Ann
