Hello Ian,
I am working hard to raise $2,000 to build a decent, safe and a ordable home in Nepal and am
almost there! I have raised $1,256.50 and am committed to hitting my goal in the next three weeks.
If you are thinking about supporting this e ort, now is the time. Any amount makes a di erence.
I’m trying to raise the additional funds within the next 21 days (by Aug. 5. ). Please visit my Web page at
to donate via credit card. If you’ d like to give via check or phone, let me
know and I can send you those details.
anks so much for your support!
Dan
Creative/funny appeal letter
A totally di erent approach to soliciting nancial support is a quiz. Found to be most e ective when sent
to friends and family, the front page is a series of multiple-choice questions — including correct answers
— that give the quiz-taker an idea of what is happening and piques their interest to learn more.
e
reverse side of the quiz provides the details of the upcoming GV trip and appeals for nancial support. A
more heartfelt solicitation letter (and photos) can go on the back.
