I haven't yet said ‘thank you’ to you and that isn't right.

At SOFII we fully respect your desire to remain anonymous, and will honour that wish, rigorously. We only want your email address so that we can thank you properly (not to send you further appeals, of course. Whatever gave you that idea?)

It’s true we can't send you the same personalised letter of thanks that we have been sending to our wonderful other donors, but we want you to have it anyway. So we sincerely hope you’ll read the message opposite and take its sentiments to heart.

For they are truly meant.

We know we shouldn't ask while thanking. So, changing the subject, if by any chance you have not yet had an opportunity to donate to SOFII via The Big Give, there’s a golden opportunity for you right here, now.

Thank you, all of you, in advance or afterwards, anonymous or not.
