... they lie. And they work out what they ought to say in response and that's what they tell us and that's not how
they actually respond. So the final thing that you can help us with is the truth.
OK. And lastly, as a donor, please do it quickly. I've given two significant gifts, only two in my life. One was absolutely the best thing I have ever done and I wouldn't change it and I was
asked by a chair of trustees who was an amateur and never done any fundraising, the first time they'd asked anyone for money, it
was the best experience I ever had. The second time I was asked by a professional and it
was the worst feeling of my life. I worked years for that money and they wasted it. And they told me so. So
please give us the truth so I can have more of the first and less of the second. And so can your friends in Singapore, or Malaysia wasn't it,
Russia, and all round the world. And if you can take the same kind of margin off these philanthropists
all around the world as the City managed to do and you'll have a very successful business. Ladies
and gentlemen thank you very much for coming, I hope you enjoyed it.
