A Question.

If Madeleine's Fund remains as it is, with the current rate of expenditure, it will run out in Spring 2011. This would essentially mean that any kind of proactive search for Madeleine would cease. So again we need your help. If you can, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

£1 pays for the multi-lingual call centre availability for 1 hour
£2 per month pays for 12 travel packs that are distributed to holidaymakers going all over the world
£10 pays for 1000 posters that are translated and distributed across the world.

For GBP1,75 you will recieve 10 English posters, 2 luggage tags, 2 wallet cards, 1 car sticker. (What are wallet cards, and how will anyone see what is in a wallet?)

More than twice over , It works out aprox 16 pence for a travel pack ,if they can produce 12 for two pound, but then if they are selling them on £1.75 p that is a profit of £1.59 per travel pack (I dont know if the fund has included postage costs but I would of thought so) It should be all non profit , despite if they put it back in to fund , If they believe these packs raise awareness the should be distributed out for minimal costs

also office costs, Correct me if I am wrong, Does someone own the office who is close to the Mccanns? I dont know if that thread was the one which had to be taken down, and they had no value assets? can someone please confirm who the investigation office is rented from? as if it someone with connections I don't think it is right they they are taking money from the fund .

Shibboleth, nice to see you again :flower:

The public have funded the search for four plus years now, and so here's a novel idea.... get a job Kate McCann, and use your own salary to fund the search for the child you so miserably let down!
