Guest guest Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Dear Bhaagavatas: Please do not miss reading the enclosed message included in http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/arlington.html ============================================================================ This seems to be another technique by con artists to beguile the gullible and credulous folks by playing upon their humanitarian sentiments and emotions to help a worthy cause. We published the appeal all in good faith. The same holds good for the much too numerous appeals for funds for this, that and the other so called “kainkaryams” flashed on the Internet day in and day out, playing on the religious susceptibilities of Bhaagavatas. Reports of misuse of such funds have surfaced. We would like to caution our members before committing themselves to any “donations” for these. This is the reason why we wrote in our “Guidelines to Contributors”: APPEALS FOR FUNDS: ” Complaints have been received regarding irregularities in the utilzation of funds collected in the name of worthy projects. Therefore, Appeals for funds for various kainkaryams may be posted ONLY AFTER MAKING SURE of the genuineness of the prime movers / administrators and after providing an assurance of personal responsibility for having done this. Before posting any such appeals, it may be ensured that proper arrangements exist for - (i) Officially acknowledging receipt of contributions (ii) Utilization of the funds fully and precisely for the purposes for which they are proposed to be mobilized through these appeals and (iii) Adequate audit and accounting to the entire satisfaction of the donors. Otherwise, we will be seen as encouraging indiscriminate fund-raising appeals and also become liable for any potential legal action later on, given the conduct of numerous trusts that have mushroomed and disappeared with the collections. Therefore, in the absence of the above precautions being specifically incorporated, we will be compelled to reject such appeals” =========================================================================== NOW, IF YOU HAVE NOT READ ALREADY, PLEASE READ AGAIN THE ENCLOSED MESSAGE IN http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/arlington.html =========================================================================== This is a hoax message Please refer to http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/arlington.html Moderators: FYI Rama Krishna K [kramakrishna] Saturday, May 10, 2003 5:00 AM rachel_winslet; bhakti-list; ; ; sv-general; parakalamatham; madkid66; ; oppiliappan; anantha vinjamuri; iyengaronline; vedic_talk; ramanuja; cvinjamuri; atreyaca; kandala venkatakishore [Fwd: [Fwd: [Fwd: Please read this: let's help]]] > > Leukaemia - Please read then forward > > If you delete this ... you seriously don't have a heart. > > Hi, I am a 29 year old father.
