Dear Sir/Madam

The center for disease control and Prevention (CDC) continues to work to go all out to control an outbreak of a 2019 novel coronavirus.

The World Health Organization confirmed 3,405 deaths from COVID-19 in Italy.

CDC has established an incident management system to co-ordinate a domestic and international public health response to check mate this virus. Funding of the project is quite a huge costs and we plead for your good-will donation, nothing is too small.

This e-plate form is for timely intervention due to holiday extension of our public Institute/ businesses not working. It's really affecting us but together, we must stop the virus! All our research groups have been working around the clock to find a vaccine.

Please kindly tell us how much funds you can support us financially.

Thank you for your good-will contribution in standing against this virus, you are a hero.

Sincerely,

CDC-INFO National Contact Center For Donation
