John, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! My team and I had a nice break, and now we’re getting right back to work. 

As you know, the final public FEC fundraising deadline before the primary election is at midnight on the 31st. Our numbers will go public, and it’s our last chance to show that the momentum is on our side. 

My team tells me we need to bring in at least $25,000 more before the deadline in order to meet our goal. Will you make a donation of any amount right away?

Thanks for understanding the urgency of this, John. This deadline is the most important one we’ve faced yet. I’m glad I can count on you. 

Thanks - more soon, 

Julie
