Hi John,

I hate to bother you with an email on your Saturday evening, but this is an urgent request.

Our end-of-month deadline is just a few hours away — at midnight, tonight. We set out to reach our $15,000 goal so we could finish the final few months of this race stronger than ever. But, we still need more grassroots support to bridge our fundraising gap.

I don’t want to waste any more of your time, so I’ll get straight to it, John. Will you pitch in $5 or any amount you can spare before the clock strikes midnight? Here’s a link you can use: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/vf-em-fr-aug24

We cannot afford to miss out on this goal. From September through November, my team and I are hitting the ground running — connecting with voters, spreading my mission, and ensuring NC-04 constituents have the voice they deserve in Congress.

But defending my seat comes with a cost, John. That’s why I need your support now more than ever. Could you take a moment to donate any amount to my re-election campaign? Here’s that link again: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/vf-em-fr-aug24

Thank you for your time,

Valerie
