Dear Lucas,
I wish I didn't have to bother you during the holidays, but I'm up against a critical deadline. My potential opponents will be announcing their plans early next year. That means it's critical that we show how strong we are and make these challengers think twice about entering the race.
My campaign has set a goal of raising $120,000 before our December 31 FEC deadline. We must not fall short.
You've always played a key role in helping me win my campaigns. Can I count on a donation of $3 or more from you right now? The deadline is exactly 86 hours away, so we've really got no time to lose.
Ross, my finance director, tells me we've raised $62,783 so far, so we're about half way there. I can't miss this goal because my right-wing opponents will pounce if I show any sign of weakness.
We've got just three days. Three days before the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve. If we can make this goal, then we'll be prepared for whatever comes our way during the busy election year ahead.
Just $62,783 to go. Will you help me get there?
Happy Holidays,
Kirsten
