Off-Topic: We need your Help! Please help Cargolifter!

[a_new_hope]

Hello,

as you probably know from the press,
the airship company "Cargolifter AG" is in bad trouble.

Cargolifter is the only company in the world that
is building large airships
to carry heavy lift loads (up to 160 metric tons)
or transport medical equipment within hours to desaster areas.


We, a group of Cargolifter enthusiast
want to collect money to help that 
company to survive so that it can continue
to build those large airships that will
help many people all over the world
in times of disasters (like earthquakes, famines etc.)
or in transportating goods, needed for building
infrastructures all over the world.



That is the website of our help-initiative:

http://www.zukunft-in-brand.de/ 


And that is the website of the company Cargolifter:

In English:
http://www.cargolifter.com/2002/repository/splash_e.html

In German:
http://www.cargolifter.com




Here some technical infos about the airship of the type CL160:

Measurements:
 65  meters in diameter
 265 meters in length 
 82  meters total height

Payload:
 up to 160 metric tons
 

We apologie for being off-topic.
We think that this airsphip is very important for
the whole humanity, especially in times of disasters.
We can't let this project die, that would be a big loss.

This is definitively the wrong place for a mail like this. Do you really think 
that somebody would spend money for people like you (investment banker...)? 
It's over - you should realise that!

That's why i wrote:

If i a have offended you i apologize again, sorry.

No, i think that people would invest money
to move something on, to change the world, to make it better.
I am one of those persons who think this way, i am not a
 bad investment banker.

The other thing is, it can't be called spending, it is more an
investment.
When you invest money into this initiative,
 this money goes first to a notary public.
At this point the money is still in the hands of the notary public,
the decision to give the money to this company 
depends on the following points:
1. The collected money must  be more than 20 % of about 65 Million Euro.
This is because the German government would give 80 % of those 65 Millioen Euro
to the company when the company is able to find an
investor or a bank that is paying the other 20 %. In this case our
initiative is trying to collect the other half of this sum -> so these 20 %.

2. The company must first show a way that will move the company
back to break even.

When these points are matched the money can be invested into the
company.
When those points are NOT matched every person who spent/invested money into
this intiative gets their money back (minus 0.15 % for notary
fees and things like that).


> It's over - you should realise that!
I hope you're not right.
There is still a change to change the world to get better.

Be careful with this. Otherwise when I get bored I might sue you
and your company. What you are doing is ILLEGAL.

Oh, did I hurt you? That's why I say sorry.
