Dear All,
I am an elderly man, Michael Lavery, who along with my lifelong and best friend, Jon Kerswill had been planning a free (not for gain) marine and electrical educational academy to assist the severely underprivileged youth of Madagascar.
For such purpose we acquired a suitable sailing vessel which I have personally worked on refitting for nearly two years to make it perfectly suited to our project. It has yet to reach final completion but has not got far to go.
As semi retired engineers, we jointly had a wealth of experience to share and pass on to new generations.
Sadly, Jon passed away very unexpectedly three weeks ago which has placed me in a quandary. The sailing vessel we had jointly been preparing to achieve our plans now forms part of the deceased estate.
The beneficiaries of the estate have been most understanding on the matter as they knew of our goals and coupled to that, the fact that the vessel is my only home and also of prime importance to the sea school aspect of the academy.
For such reason’s, I need to raise sufficient funds to buy the deceased’s shares out of the estate which I simply cannot afford to do and to which end I need to raise approximately $81,000 or as close to as possible, for which I have been granted a six month period of grace within which to achieve such. Without your assistance not only will our planned humanitarian project fail, I will effectively have to try to recreate my entire life, as the vessel would have to be sold on and although in such instance I would receive a similar sum in settlement, I simply wouldn’t be able to start all over to honour what were our joint intentions.
Your assistance will be immensely appreciated, not only by an old man, but by scores of underprivileged young Malagasy adults who will be empowered by education to achieve real opportunities and vastly improved lives.

Thank you all for hearing me out and please accept my sincere gratitude for your considerations.
Michael Lavery.
