"Tax time" -- Those are words of absolute delight and joy for everyone.
Ok, more like fear and disgust, but let's be upbeat, shall we? This
national day of celebrating accounting reminds us to beg those in the
family or a good friend with math prowess to help us with form #xa82
and #y59m. It seemed an appropriate moment to update you on the sad
state of our raffle. Truthfully, though the poor ticket sales is not
seen by our rescue to be encouraging, it gives you an excellent chance
to reach for your favored prize package. Here are the stats of the
money we have raised and the number of tickets assigned to each raffle
by the purchasers. We thank once again all those who donated items for
this raffle.
We have raised: $85.00

So it is April 15 according to the calendar. That gives you
approximately two weeks to get in your order for tickets. Send a
check in the mail this week. Contact us directly for directions
to pay online. Get your name assigned to the next tickets in line!
And don't think the last ticket purchased has a lower chance of
winning. We use a random number generator on a math website to
draw our winning tickets. We tell it to pick a number -- Say from
1 to 72 -- and it gives us the winning number. Last raffle, someone
with ticket 72 won! I remember it exactly, because it was a very
interesting occurrence.
Help our ferrets. There are vet bills heading our way. Look at those
prize packages! How can you resist?
With hope for the future,
