I got this forwarded from one of my network. I choose to keep the intro and outro text for the suggested mail forwarding text.
Cut and paste and mail. Money is stupid if you are not using it wisely. And check www.beyond-branding.com for a CSR Auction referring to the Conscious Citizens Blog (the main link I want to have observed here). Good idea.

MAIL I GOT FORWARDED HERE:
[recipent not disclosed],
This communication is my small way of helping the Tsunami 2004 affected peoples. Each of us who thinks that true relief means continuity of emotion ... maintaining the intensity of emotion that exists in the immediate aftermath of any calamity, can give more than we imagine. I request you to please forward the text of this mail (with your own message) to your network of contacts so they can contribute their time, effort, skills and acumen in good measure.
<-- Cut and paste this text into your mail -->
While relief organisations are providing immediate respite to Tsunami victims, other people -- those with a commitment to continue after public memory fades -- need to involve themselves in contributing to reconstruction and reintegration.
Please bring your ideas, skills and organisational capabilities to provide government agencies one of many touchpoints from where they can harvest intellectual and experience capital. Please, please don't just give a donation to some fund and feel that your good deed for the day is done.
You have skills. You are part of a network that has the means to mobilise every enabler needed to rehabilitate the homeless. Put part of your business acumen to reconstructing society. This Tsunami was just nature's way of reminding us of our duties to the world beyond ourselves. Let this be the opportunity that fosters a continued commitment to the future generation.
