Dear Donors and Friends,

As many of you are already aware, devastating floods in Bangladesh have hit
villages and cities and have left people helpless with no means to escape
their despair. SpaandanB (www.SpaandanB.org), a nonprofit, charitable
organization, urges you to come forward and donate generously for this
humanitarian cause.

Flood fund drive: http://www.SpaandanB.org/flood.html

We started the flood fund drive on July 26, 2004. As of July 27th, we have
raised $4,200 for the flood victims. We sent $2,000 to Bangladesh on July
26th. Additional funds will be disbursed for the flood victims shortly.

How to donate:

Please visit http://www.SpaandanB.org/flood.html and donate using your
credit card or PayPal account.

If you would like to donate using a check, please make your check payable to
"SpaandanB", specify "For Flood Victims" as the memo and mail it to
SpaandanB, P.O. Box 64183, Sunnyvale, CA 94088.

To make a pledge, please send an email to info@SpaandanB.org or contact any
SpaandanB executive committee member. We will send the pledged amount from
our emergency fund.
