别说我们冷漠,让我们一起来做:2008 China Earthquake Relief
别说我们冷漠,即使在焦急等待绿卡中的我们,并没有忘记四川受灾的同胞。我于上星期地震发生后的第二天向全公司员工发出了捐款倡议,并得到了员工委员会的支持,目前捐款任在继续中。这是一个让中国走向世界,让世界认识中国的极好机会,也是让中国人展示自己新的风貌的极好机会。
我个人建议将捐款直接汇往中国红十字会(方法见后),而不是汇往大使馆或领事馆这样的政府驻外机构,以免国外同事的疑问和误解。
现将我的电子邮件编辑后供大家参考(黑体斜体部分许大家自行修改)。

Many people around the world and many US companies such as xxxx (as you may find) and xxxx (as you may find) have raised funds to support and assist the rescue work and the people in the area. I have also donated through my parents in China our contribution of xx,xxx Chinese dollars (x,xxx US Dollars).
To support the continuous rescue work in order to save more lives from the disaster, we need support from you, our friend and colleagues in xxxxx (your company), with any amount of your convenience – it makes little difference to our life, but it DOES to the life of the people under the earthquake in Sichuan, China.
