Dear Mr. Sample:
The animals urgently need us. The recent oil spill left hundreds of thousands of birds, dolphins and fish washed ashore beaches in Cuba.
With your help, Animals in Need will be able to save these animals and provide them with much needed medical attention. Animals in Need were the first animal protection charity onsite in Cuba, assisting in the rescue efforts of the wildlife.
To date we have helped rescued 5,000 birds, 300 dolphins and 15,000 fish. There are more animals in need that need our care. They need us for their survival.
Act now by making a donation to Animals in Need. A donation of just $25 will provide transport for 10 birds. It is important that we hear from you right away.
Please send in your special donation today. No matter how big or small, your donation will help these animals in need.
Thank you for your generosity. It is people like you who make up or circle of friends, helping those who cannot ask for help themselves.
Sincerely,
John Smith
Executive Director
Animals in Need
P.S. Your special donation will help save these animals. Please give what you can. The animals and I thank you.
