Dear :

Example Openning

Hello Uncle and Auntie! I am writing to you on the behalf of Tucker Foundation at Dartmouth College and the Charfassion Orphanage in Bangladesh. I am in the midst of a fundraising project to reconstruct the Charfassion Orphanage, located on an island in southern Bangladesh. The project consists of a new facility for the Charfassion Orphanage to replace their current building, which is structurally unsound and unsafe for human habitation. Matt Sueoka, a 2004 Dartmouth graduate, designed the plan for this orphanage as his senior Engineering honors thesis, and I'm proudly working alongside him to make his ambitions a reality.

The orphanage currently houses 100 orphans and twelve teachers, but sadly, the 100 orphans share one toilet and lack any means of running water. They have no place to play and no area to study. With such inadequate space, seven orphans must share one bed with one bedcover. As one of the only concrete buildings on the island of Bhola, the orphanage also provides an emergency shelter for the 2,000 surrounding villagers of Bhola during the monsoon season. However, the orphanage has been battered by harsh weather conditions and is in critical need of reconstruction. The orphanage is on the brink of collapsing, and an immediate reconstruction is crucial.

Our goal is to raise $200,000 by June, 2006. If you can help, please take the time and initiative to make a donation, as a donation of any size would be greatly appreciated. Checks or money orders for this project can be written out to the "Tucker Foundation" and mailed to: Tucker Foundation, c/o Tanvir Kabir, 6154 South Fairbanks Hall Hanover, NH. We are a non-profit, charity organization, and all donations are tax-deductible: tax ID- 02-0222111.

I am very excited about the potential to rebuild this orphanage and create a real world education legacy at Dartmouth; it's such a great opportunity to include in my educational career. As soon as we raise enough money, the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology will immediately begin the construction.

Please feel free to contact me at [Your phone number] at [Your email address] if you have any further questions. If you would like to learn more about this project, please visit the following website: http://www.dartmouth.edu/~tucker/servicetrips/bangladesh/

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
