My friend seem equally split on this issue. I prefer direct writing, but even some of them -- people who liked me -- said they were turned off. On the other hand, a lot of them said things like, "I wish most solicitations were like this. Just tell me what you want and if i can I will."
I.E. I am not sure if i should or should not change it.

That way you short circuit all kinds of over thinking people do. Ask for $100 then tell people if they can't afford it, to give less, and that every bit helps.
