Also included in the package is a two-panel report that summarizes MSF mental-health programs in Indonesia, Haiti and Nigeria. The package mailed in a white No. 10 envelope, with only the MSF return address information on the face and “Awarded the 1999 Nobel Peace Prize” on the flap, along with the organization’s URL and phone number. There’s a 7-inch-by-8.5-inch, folded reply device, an 8.5-inch-by-11-inch buck slip, the double-sided letter with the same dimensions, a BRE and the postcards. The headline on the reply reads, “You can help save a life,” and there’s a scrawled, faux-handwritten quote on the bottom half of the reply: “The emotions of the children sitting opposite me are easy to sense, even before I hear the translation.”
