Dear Philanthropist,
Following the recent outbreak of one of the deadliest virus/disease ever known to mankind in the
West Africa called EBOLA VIRUS; thousands have lost their life’s including children, adult, and
family’s.
Please take your time to read this information carefully.
Before this year, Ebola was a disease relegated to remote villages in Africa. Even public health
officials didn't worry about it spreading very far. Until recently, they would probably tell you
that the virus typically burned out after ravaging only a handful of people.
But then came 2014.This year has, in many ways, rewritten the Ebola rulebook. We're in the middle
of an unprecedented, nightmarish epidemic that has spread from a rural rainforest region in West
Africa to large urban centers. The World Health Organization's director has called it "the greatest
peacetime challenge" the world has ever faced, with the number of cases doubling each week. Now,
health care officials are starting to talk about a worst-case scenario for Ebola. The World Health
Organization projects that 20,000 people will be infected in November The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention,(CDC) meanwhile, projects up to 1.4 million people could be infected by
January, assuming that Ebola cases continue to increase exponentially (as they have) and are
currently underreported.
The 2014 Ebola outbreak is the largest Ebola outbreak in history and the first Ebola outbreak in
West Africa. This outbreak is the first Ebola epidemic the world has ever known —affecting multiple
countries in West Africa. A small number of cases in Lagos and Port Harcourt, Nigeria, have been
associated with a man from Liberia who traveled to Lagos and died from Ebola, but the virus does
not appear to have been widely spread in Nigeria. The case in Senegal is related to a man who
traveled there from Guinea.
The Geneva-based W.H.O said in its report, which it dubbed a road map for responding to Ebola,
strengthening laboratory facilities and adding staff with more expertise to help contain the
outbreak of the virus. Public health infrastructure needed to be improved to cope with future
treatments. The road map called for the establishment of Ebola isolation centers and burials of
victims which are supervised by health care experts among other specific responses to the disease.
The W.H.O said getting health experts to regions affected by the Ebola virus outbreak was an urgent
priority. That has been made difficult because international airlines, including Air France,
British Airways, Emirates Airline and K.L.M airline. Have suspended flights to the four affected
countries. The W.H.O program will likely cost around $490 million and require contributions from
national governments, some U.N. and non-governmental agencies, and individuals as well as
humanitarian organizations, As a result of the assistance which part of the public has been
financially, materially and morally donated.
Although the risk of an Ebola outbreak in the United States and other part of the world is low, CDC
and partners are taking precautions to prevent this from happening. CDC is working with other U.S.
government agencies, the World Health Organization (WHO), and other domestic and international
partners and has activated its Emergency Operations Center to help coordinate technical assistance
and control activities with partners. CDC has also deployed teams of public health experts to West
Africa and will continue to send experts to the affected countries.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the national public health institute of the
United States. The CDC is a federal agency under the Department of Health and Human Services and is
headquartered in unincorporated DeKalb County, Georgia, a few miles northeast of the Atlanta city
limits.[1][2][3] Its main goal is to protect public health and safety through the control and
prevention of disease, injury, and disability. The CDC focuses national attention on developing and
applying disease control and prevention. It especially focuses its attention on infectious disease,
food borne pathogens, environmental health, occupational safety and health, health promotion,
injury prevention and educational activities designed to improve the health of United States
citizens and the whole world. In addition, the CDC researches and provides information on
non-infectious diseases such as obesity and diabetes and is a founding member of the International
Association of National Public Health Institutes.
The CDC Foundation operates independently from CDC as a private, nonprofit organization
incorporated in the State of Georgia. The creation of the Foundation was authorized by section 399F
of the Public Health Service Act to support the mission of CDC in partnership with the private
sector, including organizations, foundations, businesses, educational groups, and individuals.
Sir/Ma, we are hereby appealing for more funds and other material support, regardless of the amount
to rehabilitate the lives of all present patients that are affected by this deadly virus/disease
and to contain the spread of the virus.

life’s of other humans in need, we strongly believe that as you move to assist these less privilege
once, In the name of God or whatever you believe in you shall never be a victim of this deadly
virus/disease including your families and love ones.
