Hi First & Last Name,
I hope your Meals for Kids project is doing well.
Would you be open to joining another project—a for-profit one this time? My wife and I were thinking of setting up a community bank offering low-interest microloans to small businesses like coffee shops.
Your expertise would be indispensable, so I would like you to consider this.
Hoping for a positive reply,
Horace Gleeson
