The following is a letter that I enclose with a brochure to Not For Profit Organizations.  Sometimes I hand deliver and ask who is the one who works with fund raising  and if I cannot see that person I leave a brochure and this letter .

 

I also due to time restrictions just sent both this letter and a brochure to an organization. If it goes to a church-Send it to the youth minister.

 

Greetings from sunny Lubbock, Texas,

As a Not For Profit Organization it seems we are always facing the need for money and the cost of things keep going up and up.

Hi, My name is Richard Fentiman and La Rue, my wife and I have been associated with NFPO'S for just over five years now. We developed L and R Enterprises to help us keep costs down for our organization when we needed something and money is hard to come by.

However, when we want to do extra things..we find it necessary to do fundraisers in order to raise the needed funds.

We would like to give your organization an opportunity to see if this is something you can do to earn money for your favorite "thing" and yet do so in such a way that it is a win win situation. A win for your supporters and a win for you as your raise money to continue your good works.

Please take a second or two to read the enclosed brochure and then please give it some thought and see if this particular fund raiser would help you achieve some of your financial needs.

If you have questions you may call us as 1-806-762-1164 and if we are not there you can leave us a message. My personal cell phone number is 1-806-543-4029.

You can see from the brochure what your cost will be per card and we do offer a bonus if you respond within fifteen days telling us that you are interested. You do not have to order within fifteen days to get this bonus—just tell us that you are interested and we will work out whatever details with you that you need.

If you can tell us about your order within fifteen days we will do the following for your organization.

For example you order 100 cards and when you pay us for the cards— we send you another card for every ten cards you have ordered. In this example you would receive from us an additional ten cards with a donation value of $200.00 If you had ordered just ten cards upon receiving your payment we would send you one card with a donation value of $20.00.

Say you needed 120 cards our suggestion is that your first order just 100. .Upon payment we send you ten cards and you then order another ten cards well, see how this works. And yes, you will receive from us another card when we receive payment for your ten cards.

You have 21 days in which to pay us after you receive the cards and there is no restriction on the order so you may order as few or as many as you need.

Thanks for taking the time to consider

L & R Enterprises
