Dearest All,

pleeeease could I persuade you to kindly part with some of your hard earned dosh and help me raise some funds for charity, mate..if you do I promise that I will swim harder, cycle speedier and run faster (and then crumple in a heap at the end in a very elegant fashion!!)

You can sponsor me online as it's the most efficient way for me to raise funds for my charity. If you are a UK taxpayer your donation will be increased by almost a third at no cost to you.
I really appreciate your donation. Any amount will make a difference!

Thank you thank you thank you!!

Ames
