Five More Gmail Invites!

Just in case anyone was won­der­ing, giving away Gmail invites raised £25 for Amnesty Inter­na­tional, plus an unknown amount from com­pe­ti­tion winner Rune, who found an invi­ta­tion else­where but kindly promised to donate anyway. Not a huge amount, but, accord­ing to Amnesty, £25 is enough to pay for ‘a telegram about a pris­oner suf­fer­ing ill-​treatment directly to a gov­ern­ment offi­cial or place of detention’ in coun­tries with unre­li­able tele­phone net­works. Some­body some­where will be grate­ful for that telegram, so many thanks to the three win­ners for donating.

Anyway, I now have a fur­ther five Gmail invi­ta­tions to give away.

This time all you have to do to get an invi­ta­tion is pro­vide proof that you’ve donated to charity.

The amount is up to you and I don’t really mind which one, but reserve the right to with­old invi­ta­tions from anyone donat­ing to a cause I find dubi­ous or dis­taste­ful (such as animal char­i­ties, evan­gel­i­cal religous char­i­ties, ‘pro-life’ char­i­ties, etc.). Just to add to the spread­ing of good­ness, for every £1 you donate, I’ll donate 25p to your cause.

If you’re stuck, here’s a few char­i­ties that do good work:

• Amnesty Inter­na­tional
• Cam­paign for Nuclear Dis­ar­ma­ment
• The Howard League For Penal Reform
• Inter­me­di­ate Tech­nol­ogy Devel­op­ment Group
• Refuge
• Shel­ter

So, if you’d like a Gmail account, please send an email promis­ing to donate. The first five folk to email will get their invites as soon as they pro­vide proof of donation.

Good luck!
