Fundraising Letter

Hope Entrepreneurs,

So far, you have been doing a great job. The administration and I have been very impressed with the amount of hard work and diligence that you have been putting into the Christmas Tree Project.

Now, it's crunch time. We still have around 200 trees to sell, and we have to move these before Christmas Eve--less than a month away!

So, here is what we are going to do. We are going to send sponsor letters. Each of you will create a letter requesting that a friend or family member sponsor you in this entrepreneurship project. You will sign and send out five of these to people you know. Today we will send them out, and then tomorrow we will follow this up with a phone call.

It is very important that the letters follow an effective format. As well, you need to be specific. Ask your sponsors for a specific time to come pick up their trees from the lot. Then, make sure that you are working during that time. The fact that you are willing to meet them to personally help them select their tree will speak volumes--not only about you as a person, but also about CHA.

Keep up the hard work. Remember your goals! Next week is review, and then comes the final exam!

Regards,

Mr. Settecase
