Sample Cover Letter/ Fax Cover/ E-mail to Business Partner

Dear [name of contact]:

Thank you for your support. We have always appreciated the fact that [name of

company] has worked with the [name of your ROCP] as one of our business partners.

Without the support that you have offered us in many forms, our programs would not be

the success that they are today. The career opportunities that become possible for our

students are a direct result of the support that you have provided.

We are proud of the fact that these programs make our students more successful in

school, more excited about future careers, better prepared to enter the workforce, better

workers for their future employers, and better contributors - as citizens and taxpayers -

to our communities, state and country; we are also proud that we are able to do this

work with the support of business partners like you.

We need your support now, more than ever before. As part of the state budget the

Governor has proposed, and the Legislature is considering, is the elimination of

statewide programs and funding in the area of career technical education; this would

include the elimination of funding dedicated to regional occupation centers and

programs such as our own, and the implementation of a new discretionary funding

allocation formula. We know that you value our programs as much as we value your

support, so we are asking that you contact our local representatives listed below, key

committee chairs and adding a cc for the other committee members, the Governor, and

as many members of the Legislature as possible to voice your opposition to the

Governor’s proposal to eliminate career technical education programs by consolidating

their funding into this new funding allocation. If we fail to make our opposition known

now, we may never have a chance to save our program in the future. We have also

included a sample letter to legislators that you may find helpful.

As always, thank you for your continued support of our students and our programs. We

have included a number of attachments to help you in this work.
