Major announcement about free education project forthcoming
In a few weeks, a small group and I will be announcing a major new educational project, free and non-profit, with very significant funding from a retired businessman. We will be meeting in New York City early next month, talking to some potential advisers and funders. I am sorry to have to be so vague. For now, suffice it to say that everyone will benefit, but school children most of all — and the effort will answer the petition I mentioned earlier, which I hope you will sign if you have not done so already. That’s why I want to mention this, even without any detail: there are philanthropists who will get behind that sort of project. I know, because I have met one; his generosity inspired that petition in the first place. I also had to let out a little of the excitement! The idea is a corker!
So your petition did work! The letter was very finely composed - it only makes sense that the retired businessman would find your suggestion to be agreeable.

No, in all honesty, his act of generosity inspired the petition!
