This is slipping from the news and the police are starting to scale down their seraches.

Evidence seems to suggest that Madeline may have been taken to Spain and yet very few people out there are aware of what has happened or what she looks like etc.

We need to send as many emails as we can to Spanish businesses with a poster attachment and highlight this case.

I need mumsnetters to volunteer.

I have called in sick today to get this started but this is a massive task and I cannot do it on my own.

Please let me know if you can help.

Madeleine's parents have set up a website

bring madeleine home and are encouraging everyone to print out and put up the poster...

ThisIsDavinaPleaseDoNotSwear · 11/05/2007 16:59

Hi Sarah, I have contacted them through the website that you linked to.

I have shown them the poster that Mrs Spoon linked to, to ask if they would object to us sending that as an email attachment around Spain.

Also to let us know if there is any other way we can help.

I am assuming that this site is being hosted and managed here in England by extended family and friends and hope to god that I am not disturbing the parents with this

Have you asked people to forward the poter?

ThisIsDavinaPleaseDoNotSwear · 11/05/2007 17:21

Shall I just update this thread for those that have recently joined.....

We are trying to get as many people as possible to spread the news of Madeleine's dissapearance.

There are a number of posters that can be sent as email attachments and we are trying to get as many sent as possible to contacts in Spain (plus any other European country if you have contacts there)

Please add your email address to here if you would like me to send you a poster attachment. I also have some Spanish Translations here if you need them.

MrsSpoon · 11/05/2007 17:28

Just thinking about Banks there is the Banco de Valencia (one of the biggest banks in Spain I believe) and the Halifax have branches in Spain.

I would mail them myself but I am rushing back out again but if anyone has a standard mail put together and wants to add these banks to it feel free.

Golly, this is making me tearful. And I've been on the arguing threads saying people shouldn't get too emotional! Well done Davina and everyone, reallly hope this gets some results.

Davina, pls forward the email onto

[email protected]

I have contacts in Madrid and Barcelona media so I will forward the poster and have some conversations with journos over there.

Also i will make various phonecalls to tv channels TV3, Telemadrid , Television Espanola,Tele 5, Antena 3 and see if they can make a space in their schedules for the evening news which are at around 8pm and 9 pm.

thedogsbollox · 11/05/2007 17:33

I thought you might be interested in this article from Sky News about the poster campaign

Perhaps one of you could add a message on the blog saying what MN are doing?

ToughDaddy · 11/05/2007 17:34

I will ask contacts at Reuters what they can do for us, especially in Spain

sarahinphuket · 11/05/2007 17:41

just found some more people to send it to - in China, Denmark, Holland, different parts of Australia, Spain

will keep on thinking of who else I can send it to

ThisIsDavinaPleaseDoNotSwear · 11/05/2007 17:43

I have just emailed all the Halifax branches in Spain.

Will look at Sky website too.

Really ought to be straightening my hair for tomorrow though, but it can wait.
