Turtles Unite

Dear Students and Parents,

Take this form letter (below) and the format for a friendly letter that I handed out to your students and personalize it for your situation. I am also handing out a business letter format. You need to choose how informal or formal your letter should be. Parents, there are directions for you following the letter.

Heading
Dear ____________,

My class and I are going to Mexico in May to serve for an entire week at an Orphanage and Mission called Foundation For His Ministry (wwwFFHM.org). We will do all kinds of services for the mission and we will also share our faith. This is the most exciting and challenging event of my 7/8th grade year. My reason for writing you this letter is so that you can share in this experience with me through prayer and possibly monetary support. The trip to Mexico is going to cost about $800, and it is a big step of faith for me to raise that amount. I have already done one fund raising event through my school, NCA, which raised some of the money I needed. Thank you for praying and considering supporting me in this great adventure and mission.

If you decide to support me monetarily there are a few details you will need:

1. There is an enclosed addressed and stamped envelope in this letter for your convenience.

2. Please make your check payable to NCA. In the memo line write Mission’s Trip.

3. In order for this support to help me it needs to arrive by 2/20. Please do not put my name in the memo line.

4. Your donations are tax deductible.

Thank you again for your prayers and support. I will write and tell you all about my trip when I get back.

Sincerely,

(Signature)
