Sample 1:
Please accept our warmest thanks for your past support of the Springfield choir. As you know, the choir must rely on the generosity of patrons like you to sustain its cultural programs. Once again we are turning to our supporters for donations to finance our young singers’ European tour. They have worked hard to prepare several songs in French, German and Spanish, and are adding three new instrumental numbers to their repertoire.
The choir members and their parents are sponsoring their annual fund-raising barbecue on Saturday, May 3, at 6:00 p.m. in the Springfield Park. Many merchants have generously donated food supplies for the event, and others have made cash donations. We invite you and your family to join us again this year for good food and light entertainment. The suggested donation is $10 per person, but you may donate any amount you wish.
The tour benefits the young participants in may ways. They learn discipline, musical skills, and how to live in a shrinking world. After earlier choir trips some members have decided to go on to college and major in music. In short, the project benefits many. We hope to see you on Saturday. If you are unable to attend, but would still like to contribute, please use the enclosed stamped, self-addressed envelope.
Sample 2:
Last year we over boarded 2,000 barking, mewing, and cawing guests. Maid service was exhausted. Springfield Animal Shelter has provided this humane service and has supplied affectionate companions to Springfield citizens for over twenty years. Our mayor, John Doe, adopted his jogging companion, Pepper, six years ago. Ashley Johnson adopted her tabby cat, Cleopatra, three years ago.
Unfortunately, our ability to continue to match owners with pets is limited. This year we will be able to receive only half the number of guests we did last year, unless our resources double. Your contribution of $15 or more makes you a Shelter Friend and entitles you to 50% off a pet grooming at Doe’s Pets in the month of June. Simply mail your check in the self-addressed envelope and check the box indicating you would like a grooming for your pet. Please, help keep Springfield’s domestic animals housed and safe.
Sample 3:
Each day, donations from concerned people like you save acres of prime wetland habitat from destruction. We can save much more if we can meet our goal of doubling last year’s donations.
We formed the Love Coalition in 1988 to help counter the astonishingly swift destruction of the Midwestern wetlands, which serve as home to over 300 species of birds. We specialize in identifying the threats before they lead to the destruction of habitat. Last year we identified seven industrial building proposals that would have destroyed over 2,000 acres of prime bird habitat and assisted the corporations in finding more suitable sites.
We are proud of our accomplishments. You can be proud too, knowing you are contributing to this important cause. As always, donations to the Love Coalition are fully tax-deductible.
We encourage you to visit our modest Visitors’ Information kiosk on the Springfield Preserve. In addition to offering interpretive trail guides, this kiosk provides information about how the coalition uses donated funds. Please use the postage-paid envelope enclosed to make your donation, or use our convenient charge-by-phone system by calling 111-111-1111. We thank you.
Sample 4:
These are exciting times for Doe University. As you know, the University is growing. We now have an enrollment of 7,000 students, 2,000 more than we had just three years ago. Because of the tremendous growth we are experiencing, we are actively involved in a capital campaign to raise money to provide three new buildings.
The capital campaign is off to a great start. At this point more than $75 million has been donated toward the campaign priorities. In order to achieve our goal, it is imperative that our alumni step forward with vigor. The university is counting on us to bring our goal of funding the priorities to fruition, and I am confident we will rise to the challenge.
Our goal for alumni is 100% participation. I am confident we can count on your support. Please send in your donation in the enclosed self-addressed envelope. We look forward to your participation.
