As you all know I'm leaving DHL at the end of March.

I intend to spend my time pursuing personal interests outside of work .

I expect most, if not all of you, want to buy me a really big and expensive leaving present ! In light of this and me being loaded and wanting for nothing, I would like any and all donations to go to a charity close to my heart, this being Barnardo's.

Please dig deep and donate online.

Donating through this site is simple (even for the thick heads amongst you), fast and totally secure (so no dodgy notes, milk tokens or green shield stamps!). It is also the most efficient and effective way to donate money.

Barnardo's will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please donate now!

Please bear in mind that I will see how much you have donated and if you don't 'dig deep' I will circulate an email to all of your colleagues informing them of how tight you actually are.

Thanks in advance for your generosity.
