I know most of us wouldn't even give such an e-mail a serious thought, and many have our own favorite charities anyway, but there are some good hearted folks who may be too trusting and not as savvy to the schemes. :hi:

I was already thinking about this myself. Glad someone thought to post it, because I didn't.
