My name is Ryan and I want to keep this as short as possible. My life is currently in turmoil—I am filing for bankruptcy, I am unemployed, I am on medication for depression, I have had a horrendous childhood, and I have rent due on October 1st, 2002 and, I have a negative balance in my bank account. However, with all of these misfortunes I refuse to quit; I continue to get medical help and a job that will get my life back on track.
I am asking for a dollar donation. For every dollar received, I will donate ten minutes of my time to a local charity. Look at this as an investment into one person’s life and the lives of many others. This letter is out of desperation; is a stepping stone to get my life back on track; and a way to benefit the community. Please help me and send a $1 bill in an envelope and sent it to xxx.
The money is going purely for my rent for the month of October. This is not a joke. You can call the Salvation Army at 312.455.9360 or write them a letter addressed to 105 S Ashland Ave. Chicago, IL 60607 to keep track of my progress. All of the service will be completed by October 1st 2003.
Sincerely,
Ryan
