Final draft of email being sent to the Silicon Valley Alumni
Shivashankar Halan
Dear Valued CISE Alumnus,
The CISE department, as you may have already heard, is in dire straits. The Dean of the College of Engineering has proposed a budget cut plan which, if approved, will eliminate all research from the CISE department, scatter half its faculty across other departments in the College of Engineering, and eliminate all TAs, consequently destroying the quality and ranking of the department, as well as the value of your degree. We write to you today to inform you of the proposal details; furthermore, we encourage you to attend the meeting “The University of Florida College of Engineering Innovation Award Ceremony and UF Alumni Reception”, Tuesday, April 24th, 5:30 p.m. at the Four Seasons Hotel, Palo Alto, which Dean Abernathy will attend. We really need your support! If you would like to help us coordinate between the students and alumni, please join our Google Group:
http://groups.google.com/group/save-uf-cise-sv-alumni-collaboration. You will receive an invite to this group shortly. If possible, please also forward this message to alumni from the Bay Area that you know.
Thank you for your support!

I changed "if you would like to coordinate between.." to "if you would like to help", so we can invite any alumni to the group and not just the ones who want to organize this. Is this better?
