Unit 1e - Formal letter writing

 

Using those memos is working great, the place is much more organised now.

I've been thinking about doing a big fundraising push. I know the flyer let more people know about us, but I think it is time we tried to raise more money by giving people more details about how they can help us.

Could you prepare some persuasive writing that could explain to potential donors about how they could really help the lives of our animals if they were to give a regular small donation to the trust. You could include the idea of animal adoption, or even offer people a small free gift if you think it would help raise money.

Don't forget to tell them how they can set up a regular payment so that we can keep raising money long after the letter has gone out.
