We just got this email, thanks Jacqui, wish we’d been there! If you can’t Ask Richard in person, you can help by signing up as an FBi Supporter. From $4 a month, you’ll also be in the running for trips to London and V Fest, or LA.
Subject: I asked Richard Branson in person at the Wimbledon party in London last night!!!
From: Jacquelyn W

Hi,
I’m at a crappy internet cafe which won’t let me enter on the AskRichard site, so I thought I might just e-mail you guys instead.
Anyway I’m Jacqui and I’m visiting my sister in London, she got me in to this posh pre-wimbledon party last night and Richard Branson was there!! It absolutely petrified but when there was a break in the conversation I went in for the kill! I introduced myself and asked him and he said he had an interview with you guys, thats great! He said he wasn’t giving you 1million but he was helping out anyway, and he was so nice and said I pitched it well to him!
Unfortunately I don’t have any photo evidence, but I did touch his ultra-soft brown leather jacket and to me, thats all that matters haha
Anyway I’ll keep trying to enter this through the site but just thought I’d let you guys know that we’re all working hard for you!
Jacqui

“I’ve been amazed by the effort FBi’s supporters have gone to. The station clearly inspires great passion from its listeners and it’s worth saving. I’ll do my bit by providing some prizes, but really it’s up to FBi’s listeners to show they want the station to survive. So I say ‘Sign up and Save FBi!’ All you have to do is and pledge from $4 a month to go towards ongoing operational costs of the community station. I’ve signed up and pledged so it’s over to you…”
Don’t forget, you can sign up as a financial supporter of FBi Radio from only $4 a month, and you’ll be in the running for flights to London and LA, thanks to V Australia and Virgin Atlantic.
FOLLOW THIS LINK TO SUBSCRIBE, you could win tix to V Fest in the UK care of Sir Richard! Only $7 a month or $4 a month for concessions. Recession conscious!
Hello! It’s a lovely thing to find an upside to a downturn. As such, FBi is made to feel all warm inside by the constant flow of supportive notes from friends of the station, like all these ones we’ve reprinted below. It means a lot to us to hear that we mean a lot to you. With your help, we’ll stay on air.
Take it away, Nick!

“FBi, one of Sydney’s only independent stations, a station that champions local music, arts and culture is crucial to the cultural fabric of the city. It must be saved.”
After the jump: Chris Taylor, Rusty Hopkinson, Luke Davies, Rose Byrne and so many more! Like a set of steak knives! (more…)

Did you hear? Ask Richard’s world-beating news has gone global! Reports of FBi’s own Alison Piotrowksi putting the hard word on noted space-travel enthusiast and Earth’s 236th richest person, Richard Branson, at 8am this morning live-to-air, have set the web on fire. Fire! Possibly hot on the heels of news.com.au’s reportage of ‘a “soaking wet” young Mystery Woman (TM) on his Caribbean island who grabbed Sir Richard’s attention,’ the UK’s Telegraph has also run with the story. It is also reported here! And here! And here! AND HERE (Hello, Reuters!) Wonderful news, everyone!
So no, the one million clams were not forthcoming, however, we are brimming with ideas on that front and more to the point, thrilled with Sir Richard’s generous donations to the FBi supporter drive: TWO return flights to LAX and two return flights to London with tickets to V Festival in the UK in August! Have you seenwho is playing there? Don’t you want to be there, right now? Well, come August you can (possibly!), simply by becoming an FBi Supporter and going into the draw. Do it now! AT ONCE. Who doesn’t want to kick it on the Sunset Strip at the Whisky A Go Go? NOBODY! Call immediatley: 1300 FBi 945 (1300 324 945) or follow this link to FBi Radio to pledge over the intertubes. Richard Branson’s a supporter, so clearly that is where the path to enormous personal wealth and your own spaceport lies!

- And soon: Who Else Should We Hit Up For Money?
love,
FBi.

Thanks for all your amazing Ask Richard entries, we’ve had a ball and we certainly got his attention. xo FBi
Yep, he’s calling in. What did he think of our Ask Richard campaign? Will he help save FBi? How on earth does he get such attractive women? All the answers revealed this Monday June 15 at 8am AEST on 94.5fm in Sydney or listen online at fbiradio.com.

Genius! M Windle in Paddington made an Ask Richard game. We dare you not to get addicted. He says: I made a quick game for windows. You play as Richard Branson, collect cash from Richard’s money tree and donate it to FBI before the Taxmen get their hands on it.
Alison knows you’re a businessman Sir Rich, so for her entry she’s used the time honoured tool of business around the world. The slide show. We reckon this is the kind of business presentation you just might like…
