Tell them that you are a man of the cloth and that the funds for the items are going to be used to build an orphanage. In order to gain their trust that they are upstanding businessmen, you need some physical proof that they are righteous human beings and have compassion for all humanity. This physical proof could be in the form of a photograph of this person holding a LARGE fish (the internationally recognized symbol of Christianity) in their hands and kissing it, thus showing their respect for God and all things sacred to mankind.
Then post the picture here and I'll tell you what to do for the Second Act of the production.
