org March 18, 2013 Hashim Thai New Government Building 9th floor, Office 905,910 Mother Theresa Street N.N. 10000 Prishtina Republic of Kosovo Dear Prime Minister Hashim Thai, Have you ever seen the faces of three generations of Kosovars all asphyxiating from lead? Have you ever had to live with up to 10 other people in your own room? In northern Kosovo, people are dying of lead poisoning every day, and the suffering should not continue. Mercy Corps, a leader in improving the lives of individuals around the world, are working hard in your backyard to put an end to the suffering and assisting individuals who may have been affected by lead poisoning. We have a large fundraising goal for Kosovo. It would be much appreciated if the government of Kosovo could help out its citizens by funding our efforts in Kosovo. Your donation would go toward the building of new apartments, helping citizens find jobs and improving their living standards. Through our research, we have determined that our task will cost around $750,000. We believe this sum is necessary due to the construction of housing and improving the lives of the affected population. I will call your office next Monday for an appointment to visit with you and discuss the possibility of a contribution. In the meantime, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at +1 (888) 747-7440. I look forward to meeting with you and telling you about the difference that Mercy Corps can make in the lives of your citizens. Thank you for your consideration, Neal Keny-Guyer CEO, Mercy Corps
