> Dear gjyoung,
>
> SETI at home needs your help. The SETI at home team has accomplished much  
> in the
> past 6 months. We have successfully deployed the "enhanced" version of
> SETI at home. The new seven beam data recorder has been installed at  
> Arecibo (the
> world's largest radio telescope) and is recording the data that  
> will be
> analyzed in the next phase of SETI at home.
>
> But there is still far more to be done. We would like to be able to  
> sift
> through the results returned by your computers in order to identify  
> candidates
> more rapidly so we can re-observe them. This rapid response  
> validation system
> would also give you the ability to see the results your computers  
> have/has
> returned in more detail.
>
> To keep SETI at home operating for the next year, and to provide these  
> new
> capabilities, will require approximately $540,000. Currently  
> SETI at home is
> entirely funded by donations from people like you.
>
> We hope that you will consider making a donation to SETI at home at  
> this time.
> You can make a secure donation by credit card on our website
> (http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/donate.php). Instructions for  
> donation by
> check or money order are there as well. Unless you specify  
> otherwise, your
> donation will be noted by a star icon next to your username on the  
> SETI at home
> pages and your username will appear on our list of donors. If you  
> do not wish
> to have this recognition you may indicate that as well.
>
> You can check on our fundraising progress by visiting our main site at
> http://setiathome.berkeley.edu.
>
> Thank you for helping the search for ET, and for considering a  
> donation to
> SETI at home.

> Sincerely,
