				<description><![CDATA[You could put into the boilerplate, "....budget constraints...." or
something like that too. Then, with an actual budget for donations,
you`d be able to both give some product away, and politely reject other
requests.

  And thanks Kev too!&#160; I guess that is a good thought to define a budget of what we can do.&#160;I have been a little concerned, because I don`t like to come right out and say no, but I believe not responding is inappropriate.&#160; It would be]]></description>

Put together a form letter, then, depending on the volume of requests,
either use the form or use an auto-responder of some sort. It`d have to
have rules, and I`m not sure if that would work, but otherwise, just
copy-and-paste the form letter.

  Sometimes I don`t know how to handle the number of&#160; product donation requests we get.&#160; Not responding to their request, does not&#160;seem appropriate&#160;&#160;But obviously we can`t donate to everyone that emails us with requests.&#16]]></description>
