The Animals or The IRS ?

I’ll double your tax deductible donations!!!!

You win !!!!

The animals win !!!!

Donate before the end of the year !!!!

Rikki’s is my all time favorite!!

How about YOU ?

Hey Duke, Hey Vincent,

It’s your buddy here who hates paying income tax!!  I’d much rather give my money to you than to the IRS!  I bet lots of your friends feel that way too!! 

How many of them will join me!! 

Let’s find out!! 

I’ll tell you what I’ll do ....

but first I better say .... donations made to Rikki’s Refuge are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law and all that fine print.  In most cases 100% of the donation is deductible.  Seek the advice of your accountant if you’re not sure about your particular situation.

And now this is what I’ll do so we can all save money together --- I’ll match all donations from this second forward, thru midnight on December 31, 2011 so we can save the mostest.

Just in case this goes wild, I do have to put a limit on this!!!  All donations up to $15,000 by the end of the year, I’ll match. 

Dollar for dollar.

That’s right, YOU donate $1 to Vincent and Duke and I’ll donate $1.

It’s a WIN WIN WIN situation!

YOU get a tax break, I get a tax break, and Duke and Vincent get to eat!!

I’ll be stopping in at midnight Saturday to celebrate with you!   Duke and Vincent, you show me what you have and what’s been pledged by midnight Saturday - and I’ll write you a check for up to $15,000 !!!!

Hope that’ll help you out, you adorable little furry guys!!

Love from your fan, who likes you better than the IRS !!!

See you Saturday night!!
