		<description>Hello Julie,

I recently came across your blog and noticed that you focus much of your attention on ethical issues such as fair trade.  My name is Kiki and I am a volunteer ambassador for Shared Interest and I’m writing to you to ask you if you would like to support our cause.  

Shared Interest is a co-operative lending society and the world’s only 100% fair trade lender that aims to reduce poverty in the world by providing fair and just financial services. We work with fair trade businesses all over the world, both producers and buyers, providing credit to help them trade and develop. 

We currently have just over 8700 members who have collectively invested £25.5 million. Unfortunately the demand for our lending has far outstripped our ability to supply – all of our funds are fully lent.  It is for this reason that we are actively soliciting new members and we could really use your help in this endeavour.  Helping is relatively simple – placing a simple text link or Shared Interest banner on your blog would be fantastic.  You can find our banners at the following url: http://blog.shared-interest.com/?page_id=296

We would be more than happy to reciprocate by adding a link to your site from our blog.  Please let me know when you have added a link or banner and I will do the same.

Thank you very much for your consideration and have a great day!
