Asking Rich People for Money
The best way to ask these people who give money away
for help is through their charitable foundation. You can either research the
organisation website to find grants and programs or contact details of
charities they support. You can also write or email these foundations and explain
your circumstances and ask for any help that’s available.
When contacting these
organizations its important to remain professional and polite at all times.
Avoid using brash language such as I need money now or please give me
money. These statements will put off even the most generous people as it
reeks of deception and laziness. If you are in need of money now then contact
other organisations such as churches, charities, family & friends and government
welfare programs.
