How to construct a message regarding monetary gift for wedding.

Dear Limo Princess,
My fiancé and I were getting married this 08-08-08 here in the Philippines. And we are having a hard time thinking of a polite word to say that we would appreciate more if our guests would give monetary gifts than gift items. Because after the wedding we will be settling in the States for good.Hope you could help us solve this problem. Thank you.

Dear Jowell,
You can't. It is the height of bad manners to ask for cash gifts. Also, it is extremely difficult to get as job here without the proper work visas and green cards as the INS/ICE is cracking down very hard on employers who hire without papers and proper documentation. They are now giving employers prison time plus huge fines, so make sure all your documents are in order because if you overstay your tourist visa no one will hire you--it's not like it used to be.
