Dear Naseem,

It's hard to imagine, but 24,000 children die every day from

preventable causes, many from diseases like measles, diphtheria and tetanus.

Yet one simple thing – a vaccine – can save them.

That's why the U.S. Fund for UNICEF is launching an Annual

Fund to provide more immunizations and other lifesaving programs for children around the world.

UNICEF's goal? To save every child from preventable

diseases. What we need? To take advantage of an

amazing new opportunity to take our work twice as far.

Make a gift before midnight on March 22 and an

anonymous donor will match your gift dollar-for-dollar to save children's lives.

As a special thanks for your gift of $75 or more, we'll send you a UNICEF flash drive.

With the exception of providing access to safe water, no other health program – not even

antibiotics – has such a major effect on childhood mortality reduction as the simple act of providing immunizations.

Immunization works! Polio is on the verge of eradication. Deaths from measles, a major killer, have declined by 74 percent worldwide.

But the need is still great: preventable disease remains a leading cause of death for children under five.

Your dollars will go

twice as far to save children from preventable diseases.

Our matching gift offer means your gift will have twice the impact on the world's

most vulnerable children – like those in earthquake-devastated Haiti, where UNICEF has

started a massive immunization drive to protect more than 500,000 children under the age of

seven against measles, diphtheria and tetanus.

Ever since its first tuberculosis campaign in 1947, UNICEF has been a leader in global

immunization. Today UNICEF provides vaccines to 40 percent of the world's children and helps save two million lives a year.

Be a part of our global immunization campaign and make a lasting change in the lives of children around the world.

Make twice the impact on children's lives by giving to our Annual Fund before midnight on March 22, and we'll send you a UNICEF flash drive as thanks.

And thank you! Your gift will bring us closer to a day when ZERO children die from preventable causes.

Sincerely,

s/d
