Are we the only ones who think this is stupid?
I just got mail from Unicef requesting a donation. They glued a real nickel inside the envelope to make the point that a nickel could save a child's life. Then why aren't they saving all the nickels to help children rather than mass mail them out to people - most who won't donate?!??

EXCELLENT POINT! I think a letter should be written informing them of this.

They aren't the only ones who do that. I've gotten letters from other organizations that have done the same

Re: Are we the only ones who think this is stupid?
I know this is off topic, but isnt it against the law to send currency like that through the mail.
And yes I totally agree that it's wasted money that should be sent to those that need it.

Re: Are we the only ones who think this is stupid?
You should send the original nickle back when you send the letter. Not even that think they spend .39 to send you the letter

Having worked in fundraising I can tell you that those campaigns bring in a lot more money with the nickel attached than the same exact thing without the nickel. It's weird, but it works.
