Dear Mr. Gates:
I know your a very busy man so I'll make this as quick as possible. Would you help a poor person who is trying to not just better his own life but as many people as possible? I was born into poverty and haven't been able to get out of it. I have PTSD and social anxiety. I am self educated and although its not as great as a formal education, I have learned a lot. I would like to present an idea to you that I believe could possibly change things for people living in poverty. I understand that you must have a lot of people that want your ear and you know what? I have a lot of experience helping others living in poverty and I have used that knowledge to create something I call The Social Project. I've tried asking my government for help, I've asked local organizations for help but people are too comfortable doing what they do and aren't willing to take on a project as big as mine. I just feel like if someone with access to a lot of resources and someone who actually wants to help improve life for everyone heard me out, they would be willing to help me. If not you directly, perhaps you know someone who would be into it? I'll leave it at that for now. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully ,
Adam Wieherdt
