Subject: Re: Food Aid Info
Our home page is devoted to collecting emergency funding to provide food
and medicine to hungry people on the verge of starvation. Yet we seem to
attract too many researchers requesting data rather than helping in the
campaign. Please consider that you have a roof over your head and enjoy
three solid meals a day and please contribute to this project instead of
asking us to help you with your research.
