Friend, 

I just got out of our monthly fundraising meeting, and folks, this is going to be a tough email to write. 

This is John James. I served our nation as an Apache helicopter pilot in combat. 

Now, I represent one of the most competitive districts in America in Congress and I have an upcoming deadline that needs your attention. 

Our numbers for April are far below where we need them to be. In fact, they are some of the worst numbers in the history of our campaign.

My end-of-month deadline is TOMORROW NIGHT at midnight and we’re still scrambling to find the cash to reach our goal. Could we count on you to chip in?

We can’t lose this fight. I need my co-pilots to stand strong like never before.  

We’re $4,753 away from hitting our goal. Please, will you stand with me and help me DEFEND our House Majority?

Your servant,

 John James
