Hi:
This is my first time writing a fundraising letter. Please read my letter. If I am saying something I shouldnt say in the letter, please let me know; or if you have any suggestion to make the letter smoother or better, please let me know.


================================================== =

Congratulations! This is YOUR LUCKY DAY because you are being given the opportunity to save a good sum of money on your tax bill while at the same time helping some people who are in very serious need of your help.

Each year, Buckeye Bread Basket, a nonprofit organization that serves the community for many years, will have a Thanksgiving Day dinner to serve the hungry people during the Thanksgiving Day, providing free meals to the needy people. More than 400 needy people, both single people and families, are expected to attend the dinner.

However, today's tough economic conditions make it difficult for Buckeye Bread Basket to meet those needs without help from people like you. We will have our holiday fundraising sale to raise the necessary funds, where we are planning to sell holiday greeting cards. The greeting cards come in boxes of ten with green envelopes and feature an original watercolor scene, created by a famous Ohio artist.

We would like to ask your help in raising money for our annual Thanksgiving Day dinner by simply buying holiday greeting cards. For the price of $24.50, the money from the sale of a single box can feed a hungry family of four on Thanksgiving. Please place your orders by using the enclosed form and return envelope.

Once again, thank you so much for reading my letter
