Hello John,

I spent this morning looking at the latest private polling in our most winnable seats.

Here is the chart I am most worried about.

In seats like this one, we will win if people understand that Liberal Democrats are the clear challengers to the Conservatives locally.

Our polling shows that Labour-leaning and former Conservatives voters will back us in their thousands to get rid of this awful Government.

John, people over 45 have got the tactical voting message in these seats. They have seen our literature and tend to have lived in the area for longer.

But too many voters under 45 have not yet realised that only we can beat the Conservatives in their area.

Many of them have moved into the area recently, live in rented accommodation and are about to waste their vote.

John, thousands of these voters will make up their minds in the next 10 days.

We have to reach them now.

We need your help.

Please ask yourself: what is it worth - to you - to replace Conservative MPs all over the country with Liberal Democrats?

Please give if you can.

Thank you.
