I took a minute and sent the email as requested. (I just received the email a few minutes ago). I urge fellow hosts to do the same!
Here is the verbiage from the email I received:
Hi XXXX,
Here’s the thing - I don’t need a loan, and relieving me of a tax burden or sales when there are non-existent guests doesn’t help either. I just had Airbnb refund a guest from two weeks ago that cancelled her reservation after it started. They already paid me so now I’m in a hole of $400.
It looked a little spammy, as it listed his name first (Nate somebody) before it said Airbnb. I would have deleted it without looking at it if I hadn’t been told on here to look out for it.
I received this yesterday and plan to write a letter today. For many of us, short term renting is a business and not a hobby or a way to supplement income. A low interest SBA loan will make a a huge difference to me if this goes on for many months.
That’s kind of why I posted it, you know how airbnb likes to slowly roll out things to some but not others, though I don’t see the point of that here.
