Hi,

I hope you are doing well. My name is Annie Hammel and I work for the National MS Society. I’m writing because you have a very popular group that discusses life with MS. I wanted to forward on some exciting and useful news that we hope you can help us spread.



The National MS Society has been chosen as one of nine global charities to be part of Microsoft's new "i'm" initiative!



Every time a customer has a conversation using i'm, Microsoft shares a portion of the program's advertising revenue with one of the nine non-profits in the campaign. Microsoft will make a minimum $100,000 guaranteed donation to each of these organizations during the first year of the program, with no cap on how much the organizations can earn!



Customers can participate in and learn more about the i'm Initiative by joining at http://im.live.com and downloading the latest version of Windows Live Messenger.



If you feel it is appropriate, we would really appreciate it if you would please share this with your group members. We would love to get the word out about this generous program Microsoft has included us in. Not only is it raising funds for the MS movement, it is bringing worldwide awareness to this disease.



If you are not interested in this, please excuse the email. Please let me know and I will not write with other such announcements in the future.



Best,

Annie Hammel
