Dearest Tak-lors,
For greater efficiency, we have decided to operate the birthday present selection process like a business entity. Since Lena's birthday is coming up, we have decided to try out this new process and see if it works. =)
For the purpose of this exercise, we will kindly appreciate it if you can tell us which email address to send the relevant emails to (preferably the email account that you'll ALWAYS check ya?). Please make the effort to type out your email address and not just say "msn account", so that it's easier for the person who's consolidating all the data.An invitation will also be sent to you via this email to add you as a member of
http://taklors.blogspot.com/What does this mean for the birthday girl?
This means you need to come up with a wish list, adhering to the budget that we will send to you after your fellow tak-lors have replied us. A form will be sent to you to tell us what items you want, the price, as well as the place to get it.
What does this mean for you?For the people contributing to the funds, you will be required to email us at
taklors@gmail.com (Yes! we have our own email address!) by a certain date (depending on the recipient's birth date) the amount you would like to contribute to the pool of funds. This amount will be kept confidential and only be revealed to the recipient. You will then have voting rights to the "wish list" by ranking the items in order of preference, hence making the buying decision process easier. You may also opt out of pooling into the funds for a certain recipient by replying to the email address as well.
The process timeline will be as follows:
1. Email sent to birthday girl to draft wishlist
2. Email sent to tak-lors to decide on contribution amount
3. “Wish list” sent to tak-lors and will be posted on
http://taklors.blogspot.com/4. Tak-lors rank and reply to email
5. We buy the present!
6. Excess amount given as “ang baos”
If you have any feedback, do email us at
