Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

My name is Flora Du. and I started to work as a financial editor 
in August 2009. Working with a group of students with such diverse 
interests and backgrounds has been a fantastic experience for me 
professionally and personally. That is why I would like to seize 
the chance to thank all of you for your support. Your donations 
have provided me and others with such an excellent opportunity to 
learn and grow. Without your help, I cannot work, and our organization 
cannot survive; so please donate this year to keep our work and 
LINGUIST List going:

https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Among the Linguistic and Computer Science students, I am the only 
Accounting student. My tasks are including answering phones, replying 
subscribers' payment questions, following-up financial issues,
maintaining funds, generating controls to avoid overspending, and 
helping our university in funds audits. In general, my responsibility 
is to assist LINGUIST List to plan and use its financial resources 
efficiently, economically and effectively. Such experiences have 
broadened my accounting knowledge, and have encouraged me to pursue 
my career goal as an auditor.  

All of your donations go to our students' payroll. In return, those 
students put their robust works to provide free and important services 
for you. With your continuous submissions and generous donations, 
students from all over the world get the wonderful opportunity to 
become stronger linguists and to provide the betterment of the field. 
To help the survival of LINGUIST, and to help me and my fellow crew 
members to continue next year's work, 
please donate today.

$5, $10, $20 ... any amount is highly appreciated. Thank you very much 
for your support!

Sincerely,

Flora Du

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.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
