Subject: It's up to You! 
 
Dear Subscribers,

Are you up to the final challenge?  The LINGUIST List advisors have
agreed to give us another $1,000 if our readers end fund drive in the
next 24 hours (by Thursday at 1 pm EST).  It's up to you: end Fund
Drive now and stop this stream of urgent messages.  We only need
$5,000 more!  How can we achieve this goal?

--50 readers each donate $100 
--100 readers each donate $50 
--200 readers each donate $25   

We've already seen an incredible outpouring of generosity in the past
few days.  If you haven't donated yet, now is your opportunity to make
a difference and bring us to our fund drive goal.  Take this chance to
end fund drive in 24 hours and earn LINGUIST List a $1,000 bonus!

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $55,000. This money will go
to help keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors
for the coming year.

Fund Drive 2007 LINGUIST List Superhero Adventure for some Fund Drive
fun!

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form.

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later.

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on
how to donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University
and as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is
a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is
38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and
sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more
information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will
match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this
entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us
a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your
employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that
doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an
extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company operates
such a program.

Note: the donors' names are appended to every fund drive message sent
to the main list.  You can also see the list of all donors by clicking

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
