Help Me Save My Child’s Life!!!
My fear in sending this letter is that you may find this offensive. However, the true fear of losing my child at the age of 16 is far greater, especially if I didn’t do all I could to help prevent it. I approach you is an honest and sincere direction. I need to act now to help my family.
My child is sick. The cost for long-term modification because of ADD, ADHD, Bi-polar, Oppositional Defiance, and suicidal directions is very expensive. I need to place him into an approved behavior modification program that will help him get the tools to change. Unfortunately, the cost is great and my funds low. That is why I approach you. As a (family member or friend or business acquaintance or someone that I shop with, or professional, etc) I ask you to help us.
Fortunately, I have a benefit for you helping our family. I have been given the opportunity to work with the C. S. Landre Foundation (a 501(c)(3) public benefits non-profit organization. Your contribution to the foundation will give you a tax benefit for your donation. My family would be able to be helped by the foundation as they have given 93% of funds received to family and program support. That is a tremendous allocation and in alignment with our needs.
I ask you to assist and if possible send your contribution directly to the foundation in the enclosed envelope. That is a guarantee that the funds will arrive at the proper location. The Foundation assures me that they will acknowledge your contribution with the appropriate forms.
Yes, it was a difficult decision to send this letter to you as I do not usually ask for assistance. My child’s life is far more important and I will be humbly grateful if you will help me.
Sincerely,
The packet that you send should include:
Your letter with above as an example only.
Return envelope with code on back.
Include somewhere information that you are a customer, friend, business acquaintance, etc. For some people they add a picture of themselves or their child.

Why would WWASP be suggesting donation to a 501(c)3 entity? I wonder if what they're doing is legal, considering they're basically using this front 501 to funnel money into a for profit company. Anybody a tax attorney here? I wonder if the IRS would be interested in this stuff.

what they do is have the person attach the childs name to the forum/donation and it goes towards their monthly tuition. dont know if the still do it or not but thats what the rumor was a while back.

I was struck by the similarities that "sample letter" above had with the proverbial Nigerian scam letters. Almost the same grammatical style as well!
