Hello, I would like to confirm that a Poker tournament, which claims
to be giving 5% of it's entry fees to your charity, is actually doing
what it says.

It's the CEO Poker Tournament at the Venetian. They seem to have taken
down (from their site) the Word document where they claim 5% of their
tournament fees are going to your charity. But we have copies of it
scattered around. This amount should be somewhere in the $7500-$10000
range.

I would very much appreciate it if you could at least confirm for me
some involvement with CEO Poker on this tournament. There have been
some accusations of shady marketing of this tournament and quite
franky CEO Poker doesn't come off as very credible. So I thought I
would try to confirm with you that they at least did give some money
to charity.

Thanks for your time,

You have given them a half-baked out here. If they were just scamming the Human Fund cash, expect the charity you emailed to receive a donation in the exact amount you suggest in the next couple of days.
