Anyone else had one of these? - I was named ----.Not a 'Nigerian scam'..
Hi ----
Sorry to bother you but I wondered if you could help me with a challenge.
I set up a site to help me save for a campervan and things are going really
slow so I said to my partner that the only way I was going to manage to save
for one is by begging. She said that people don't give without a reason.
This started a whole debate about there being no good left in the world to
which I completely and utterly disagreed. To cut a long story short, a
challenge was formed to prove which one of us was right .
Here were the simple rules we drew up
1. I can ask anyone to donate from a stranger to a friend but I must ask or
write to each friend or stranger personally
2. I can include a "recommend a friend" type button on the site where those
who donate get to tell a friend (which is the most important part of the
plan otherwise I could be writing many thousands of emails!)
3. I can only offer the strangers and friends things that have no intrinsic
value ( which has resulted in an Emailed Certificate to say you helped and a
personal message on the site to which the donor can advertise or type any
message they wish, to show they have taken part,) The whole point of the
initial debate was because she said that there was no good left in the
world!
4. I am allowed to leave the current donations in place including the ones I
have donated myself (there was no rule set for me donating more myself due
to me an my partner knowing that I don't actually have any money at the
moment!)
Well that's it!, If there is any chance of you donating a pound and even
more important telling lots of friends about the site that would be
fantastic catalina
The site can be found at http://www.buymeacamper.com (http://www.buymeacamper.com) and if there is
anything you need to know then I will attempt to respond to every mail
(though it may take some time!)
Thanks so much for your time ------
Yours Faithfully
