<p>FROM: Campaign Manager TO: Agency Federal Employees CONTENT: CFC Mid-Campaign Push DATE TO SEND: [Fill in Date] SUBJECT: Why you CAN afford to give</p><p>Dear friends:</p><p>I encourage you to read the touching story of Jeremy, who is featured in this picture. The story is a sensitive one, and Jeremy is a minor, so we can’t show you his face, but his story demonstrates how just a little kindness can forever change someone’s life for good.</p><p>“Hi, I’m Jeremy. At age six, I had to be removed from my parents’ home, due to drug abuse and violence. But I was brought to a wonderful CFC-supported children’s charity that provides temporary shelter for kids like me while they find a permanent home. When I arrived, my shoes were tattered and I had to start school the next day. But thanks to donations like yours, when I came back to the CFC shelter I was presented with the first pair of brand-new shoes I had ever owned. It felt so good! Someone cared about me, and loved me. Now I am in a much better situation, but I will never forget that something as simple as new shoes can make all the difference in the world to someone in need. Thank you!”</p><p>Maybe, in reading the stories and emails we’ve sent so far, you’ve thought, “I’d like to help, but I just can’t afford to right now.” I understand – we’ve all been there! Sometimes just coming up with lunch money or paying a utility bill can be a stretch.</p><p>Perhaps the best thing about the CFC is the payroll deduction option. By pledging just one or two dollars a paycheck, your pledge will accrue automatically over the year, and before you know it you’ve given enough to buy a new pair of shoes for someone like Jeremy. And remember, the combined total of our CFC contributions will add up to Show A LOT of Love!</p><p>Visit [opm.gov/ShowSomeLoveCFC] to Show Some Love today. </p><p>[Campaign Manager Name] [Title] </p>
