KATU News received this email and has determined it is authentic and sent from AT&T
DALLAS, Jan. 13, 2010 — In response to the horrific earthquake in Haiti, wireless customers of AT&T can send $10 donations to the Red Cross International Relief Fund by sending a text message from their mobile device. Standard text messaging rates may apply.
A customer simply types the word HAITI and sends it to 90999. For security, a confirmation message will arrive within a few minutes, to which the customer replies with another word to finalize the donation.
100 percent of all money donated will be passed on to the Red Cross.
