Dear Sunlight Supporter,
 My name is Jim Waterson and I'm the new Research Analyst at the Sunlight Centre for Open Politics. We have this week begun a new investigation into the election spending of Zac Goldsmith, Chris Huhne and Ed Balls. We have reason to believe that there was irregular spending in all three of these tight campaigns.
There is evidence of high spending in all of these seats, yet these successful candidates managed to declare their expenditure at the permitted level. Chris Huhne and Zac Goldsmith are both multi-millionaires, while Ed Balls received large amounts of funding from the Unite trade union.
I am seeking to get to the bottom what could potentially be criminal offences, but it's coming at a price. Not only do we have to pay local councils for the photocopying and publication of election expenses, but I will need train fares to visit the various constituencies to interview local residents. In total we we need to raise around £500 as quickly as possible. Any small contribution you could give to help this important project out would be greatly appreciated. It's easy to donate on-line by clicking the button below, or you can give me a call on 0207 608 2756.
I will continue to update you with the progress of this investigation. Thank you in advance for making all of our work possible and your continued support of our transparency and anti-corruption campaign.
Regards,
Jim and the Sunlight Team
