GIFT FROM THE HEART
Recently, I just read an article in the Parents magazine (December 2001) on "Gifts from the Heart". It appealed to everyone to donate some money to charitable organisations. So, I decided to send this letter via email to people on the net. I hope that this attempt of posting this on my website will also help to spread love and joy to others. Please do read this and visit http://www.parents.com/articles/family_time/4246.jsp Thank you!
In my letter, this is what I wrote:
Hello. I am a teenage girl from Singapore and I just came across an article in the Parents Magazine (Dec 2001) on "Gifts from the Heart". As I had visited your website earlier on, I believe that you are a person filled with love and kindness to others.
As Christmas is nearing, I would like to appeal to you to donate a small sum of money to a charitable organisation and to brighten the lives of others. Christmas is a time for giving and sharing, and a magical moment to spend with your family and friends. I urge you not to forget the poor, needy and suffering who are not as fortunate as you and I are.
Although this is only a small attempt to spread hope and love to the lives of others, I hope that you will help in doing this good deed and that you will pass this letter on to others you know and love. Just as a tiny stone thrown into a lake can bring many ripples that will spread far and wide, your little deed will help spread joy and happiness to others too. Please pass this on.

I thank you for taking the time to read this, and wish you a wonderful Christmas season.
Yours truly,
A girl who strongly believes that every little deed counts

Even if you did not receive this letter, I hope that you will consider donating some money to a charitable organisation and I hope that you will recommend this page to all your friends to see. I really wish that this will help those less fortunate in some way. Merry Christmas!
P.S: I am in no way related to any of the charities, I am just doing this as a personal attempt to spread joy and love to others this Christmas.
