Subject line: My birthday present, though 99% of you weren't going to send me one anyway!!!

Hey guys, Powie here.

If you receive this email more than once, forgive me, I have multiple addresses for you and didn't catch your name twice in the address field...Most of you know me well, some of you only so well and some not at all. As the lot of you know me, you will understand what sending out an email like this must mean to me. I don't take sending out mass emails lightly. So, with that in mind, I am using my birthday this year to support charity: water's September campaign to bring clean and safe drinking water to the people of Ethiopia. Before you delete this email and not read further, please go to this link and watch the short video:

The founder, Scott Harrison, is a friend of mine and I've been supporting his projects for about four or five years. He has brought practicality and vision together to make reality better for thousands of people in third world countries. This year, I've decided to give up birthday gifts and ask for donations instead. 100% of the money raised will go directly to building freshwater wells, which will be proved with GPS coordinates and photos on Google Earth. I'm asking for my age in dollars ($35), or in increments thereof. Please make a donation on my page:
