Greetings to you all,
\\ \\ 
I hope this email finds you all well. 
\\ \\ 
One of our members and a good friend of mine: Prof. Luhukay PGMD [[AE - Utrecht, Netherlands] needs our help. He is suffering from a critical heart disease that requires a heart transplant. The cost of the transplant is too large for him to raise in a short period, so he reached out to me for help. Due to how time-sensitive his case is, I'm appealing to your kind hearts to donate to save one of our own.
\\ \\ 
If you would like to donate, please let me know so I will furnish his bank details.
\\ \\ 
Thanks,
\\ \\ 
Prof. Donald B. Dingwell,\\
President\\
Academia Europaea
