Dear friends and family:
This is to request your contribution to the Tsunami Relief Fund. You may have heard of the Tsunami disaster, the killer waves that destroyed most of South-east Asia. According to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the death toll from the tsunami has crossed 78,000. It could likely top 100,000, as more bodies are found from India to Indonesia.
Emergency workers are struggling with power outages, destroyed communications and badly damaged roads. Health experts say the relief operation looks woefully inadequate with shortages of coffins, equipment, food, and medicine. They have warned disease could kill as many as or more people than the tsunami, as the full extent of the tragedy begins to unfold.
This is where we can make a difference. Your contribution could mean life to tsunami survivors. Please be generous and give from your heart. All funds will be collected by CNP and handed to a tax-deductible non-profit organization with low overhead. We are reviewing the multitude of options available and will inform you when we select a suitable one. This will also give CNP much needed exposure within the Asian-American community in Chicago. All donations are tax deductible and a reminder will be sent by e-mail.
