Dear Herbert,
If I was raising funds from Uganda (a country whose human rights record is
notorious) I would seek the support of influencers who know what I do and its
value, before sending out emails to people I don't know. Sending emails to
potential donors one has never met as "Dear friend" is pointless. As for mass
spam e-mails, I suggest you DON'T do it.
I wholly support women's education - the discovery of DNA's nature was due to
the talents and endurance of Rosalind Franklin.
If I have caused you hurt, then I am truly sorry - please regard this as a
learning exercise - we get so many spam emails seeking funds from African
nationals that I thought it's another con-artist. In every such case I take the
time to waste their time.
Carl - your view is understandable. You should, however, have supported Herbert
by expressing support for his bona fides in Herbert's email. Post-hoc criticism
is facile.
I will continue to unashamedly jump on suspect emails sent to me.
Cheers,
Graham
