Dear Mingyu,
In the past 48 hours, we've heard the heartbreaking stories and seen the harrowing images of people who remain without shelter, water, food or basic medical supplies in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake off the shore of Haiti.
But the outpouring of support is reason for hope. If you've already donated, I am deeply grateful. Please consider making another gift and encouraging your friends and family to do so as well. The most important thing you can do right now is to give money. Small donations add up to big amounts.
Yesterday I met with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon at the United Nations to discuss the current situation on the ground in Haiti and the need for sustained focus through and beyond the immediate crisis. We must ensure the coordination of the United Nations, world governments, nongovernmental organizations, and individuals like you.
As UN Special Envoy for Haiti, I have been monitoring the situation very closely. What we need right now is to find survivors in the rubble, bury those who did not live, get medical care and supplies to the hurt, food for the hungry, and shelter for the homeless. And once the emergency is over, we can start to rebuild.
Together, we can make a tremendous difference in saving lives and sustaining them through this crisis.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your generosity at this critical time
Bill Clinton
UN Special Envoy for Haiti

亲爱的明昱，
海地破坏性的地震发生后，在过去的48小时中，我们听到了许多令人心碎的故事，看到了许多悲惨的景象。那里的人民没有住所，没有水，没有食物，也没有基本的医疗用品。
但大家源源不断的支持是那里人们的希望。如果您已经捐赠，我对此深表谢意。请考虑再赠送另外的礼物，并鼓励您的朋友和家人也这样做。目前最重要的是给予经济上的支持。涓涓溪流，汇成江海；小额捐款会累计成巨大的数额。
昨天我在联合国与联合国秘书长潘基文会面。我们讨论了目前海地的地面形势和对于眼前危机的当前与未来的持续需求。我们必须确保联合国、世界各国政府、非政府机构以及个人能够一起协调工作。
作为联合国海地问题特使，我一直在密切地监测着那里的情况。我们现在要做的是从废墟中找到幸存者，掩埋那些不幸遇难的人们，为伤者提供医疗用品和设备，为饥饿的人们提供食物，为无家可归者提供收容所。一旦紧急状态结束，我们可以开始重建家园。
我们并肩一起努力，可以为拯救生命，帮助人们度过这次危机做出巨大贡献。
在这个关键的时刻，我从内心深处感谢您的慷慨。
比尔 克林顿
联合国海地问题特使
