Does your friend have anything to corroborate this claim? Perhaps the email with identifying details censored?
I have a received an occasional email mentioning donations. They are extremely infrequent and never ask me for a specific amount. I would be incredibly surprised to see evidence of "hounding" and requests for $50,000.

I did look before posting here as I thought they had already forwarded it to me, but it was last year, so I have almost certainly cleaned up my Inbox since. I'm not an Inbox hoarder.
