Dear Mr. Smith,
I am from the public relation office of Helping Homes, which is a social service institute and orphanage for children and old-aged people. We have been working for the welfare of needy people who want education and shelter for the last 15 years. We have educated many children who are living a respectable life at the moment by finding jobs.
However, with the recent recession, it has become quite difficult for us meet the expenditures of Helping Homes. That’s why we need more funding and for that purpose we are organising a musical show. By selling the tickets of this musical show we are expecting to get enough funds to manage the expenditures of Helping Homes.
For that purpose, we want you to help us by bringing as many people as possible to this charity show which will help those who are dependent on people like you.
We are optimistic that you will help us in this fundraising campaign to help the needy.
Sincerely,
Laura Williams
Organising Secretary
