Dear Friend,

For most of us, receiving a gift is like receiving love. We feel cherished, and we, in turn, cherish the giver of the gift. By participating in the SMA Gift Annuity, you send a gift of love to many in need. Your contribution buys food, medicine, and other necessities for missions that serve up to 8,000 people. Your gift helps SMA missionaries provide spiritual, health, and educational support to hungry and abandoned people in more than a dozen African countries, and your generosity is returned to you in the SMA Gift Annuity Program's attractive benefits. You receive:

* GUARANTEED FIXED PROMPT PAYMENTS FOR LIFE

* A HIGHER INTEREST RATE, LOCKED IN FOR LIFE

* TAX FREE PORTIONS IN EACH PAYMENT

* PAYMENTS GUARANTEED BY SMA

PLUS: You are recognized as a donor and remembered in prayers and Masses of the SMA Fathers - forever.

What better gift can you give than the gift of a better life? Do it today. Find out how easy it is to start your SMA GIFT ANNUITY PROGRAM...and feel the love return.

THANKS AND GOD BLESS YOU .

• DOES YOUR WILL HAVE A CHRISTIAN PREAMBLE?

  Many individuals have found a unique way to make their will and testament reflect their faith. They ask their attorney to precede their will with a special statement such as the following: "Knowing that I will one day be called to return to God from Whom I came, I now publicly give thanks for all the gifts God has given me: My life, my family, my work, my friends and all my earthly pos­sessions. I am particularly grateful for my Catholic faith which has sustained me and taught me to cherish, nurture and share these gifts. I assure those whom I must leave behind of my continuing love and, in order to discharge my responsibilities as a faithful steward, I give these instructions for the distribution of the goods God has given to my care. "
