Sample email sent to notify a gift has been made 

Dear ____________,

A lifesaving gift of a micro-business has been made in your name by ____________________.

Dave Dionisi from our staff is spending Christmas with war orphans in Liberia, Africa. Dave has been notified of your gift and he is personally arranging for the setup of a micro-business on your behalf.

Micro-businesses are a wonderful gift because unemployment is over 80% in Liberia. A person can join the workforce with a chicken business, goat business or something as simple as owning a water purifier.

After the business is established, you will receive an email with the name of the business owner and his or her village in Liberia.

We provide instruction on how to run the micro-business. Each person helped is asked to agree that in return for this gift they will help others. For example, the recipient of a goat business is asked to give the second kid and fourth kid to an orphanage to help needy children. In this way, the people who are helped also help others in need.

On behalf of people who live on less than $2 a day, we thank ______________________ for making this gift to you.

If you have questions or would like to learn more, please call me at 530-554-7061.

Sincerely,

Dave Dionisi
