Charity - and a formal apology.

Hello to you all . . .

After some rather rash comments I made in a press release on opening my company, I wanted to make a formal apology. It would seem that after some of the discussion following the release I got a feeling that many other charities felt insulted, or overlooked. This was not my intention, it was only that my idea felt new and fresh, so my wording was poor, at best.

Please forgive me for my boldness.

I would like to state however that through the generosity of several people, we now have 83 million ISK to distribute to good causes.I would like the word spread far and wide of the Charities goals, and of their need for donations. If you are interested in helping the corporation, or feel that you need help, please contact me.

Another feeling which I gathered from my last release was that there seemed to be no structure or plan to the corporation. The main reason for this appearance is that I am reliant on other's donations - and generosity cannot be measured or predicted!

I can however explain the actions behind the distribution of recieved donations:


  • Any items donated will be put into a charity auction, which will be advetised as such, and will make a more encouraging way to donate.
  • Any Isk recieved will be stored until an appeal for charitable consideration is approved, and the ISK will be passed onto them.


I am also in the process of dividing the donations into sections, so that donators can choose the good cause their money will be going to.

I hope that I have explained the charity a bit better, and I also hope that I have repaired some of the damage done by my harsh words. If you wish to donate to the cause, join and help gather donations, or have an appeal for donations, please feel free to contact me.

Many Thanks
Daven Shimaya

I've seen this scam before.

Got a stipulation for you; you should consider using a third party to hold the funds. Usually I would suggest one of the well-known third party services, such as the one Chribba provides. However, looking at your set up, they wouldn't be applicable in this case.

Would suggest contacting either of the following for collaboration;

Tyrathlion Interstellar [TYRIN]
