Dear friends,
As most of you know, Lin Jingshuis seriously ill in hospital and needs our help to raise money for the specialized medical treatment. As president of the Students' Union, the committee has asked me to call on all students on campus and request your support.
We ask you to donate money as much as you can to a medical fund we have set up to cover her medical expenses.Unless we can raise sufficient money, she will not be able to afford the treatmentthat is imperative. The local hospital is not equipped to perform the operation, so she needs to be transferred to a hospital in Beijing.
As students of this university, we need to show our love to her by donating money to assist in a speedy recovery.Please contribute generously.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

亲爱的朋友们：
大多数同学都知道林静淑同学现在因患重病而住院，需要大家帮忙筹钱以接受专门的治疗。作为学生会的主席，委员会委托我向全校同学发出号召，请大家伸出援助之手。
我们设立了一个医疗基金来支付林同学的医疗费用，请大家尽自己的所能捐款。只有我们筹集到足够的资金，林同学才能支付得起必需的治疗费用。当地医院由于医疗条件有限无法为她做手术，因此她需要转到北京的医院。
我们每个人都是这所大学的一份子，此刻我们应该慷慨解囊，表达对林同学的爱心，帮助她快速康复。请大家慷慨相助。
您真诚的，
李明
