Ladies & Gentlemen.

As you all know it is a great day this Sunday and we are celebrating the birthday of our dearest friend Mike. Through reliable sources we found that Mike would love to have a brand new LCD monitor for a gift and since this is Mike we are talking about here, he wants a gigantic 24" LCD monitor. He also said that he will be glad to pay the difference if we do not collect enough "bucks" If you would be so kind and reply back to me before tomorrow noon if you would like to pitch in for this gift. Contribution amounts are based on how much you would like to give. We are thinking that somewhere between $20 to $30 a person is reasonable.

Please indicate in your response how much you are willing to contribute. If I don't hear back from you by noon tomorrow I will assume that you will not partake in this endeavor. Thank you everyone and I will see you all on Sunday.

Regards,

Alex
