Category: Solicitation Letters

Solicitation letters, as the name clearly suggest, are documents written in the form of official letters to plead some person or company to offer help, generally for charity or such human purposes. The purpose of solicitation letters may range from funding of schools or homes for the unfortunate people, health and blood-donation camps, charity program, sponsors to fundraising event management, auctions, campaigning for social activities, etc.

All solicitation letters do not fall under similar category but the basic format remains unchanged. These letters always begin with the name and address of the sender followed by those of the recipient, along with respective company names. The salutation of the letter has to be decided as per the purpose and the existing relationship between both parties. There are a few aspects that need to be considered for framing an appropriate and perfect solicitation letter, such as:

• It is to be realized that many such important letters are drafted each day and hence the introduction should clearly represent the actual details of the solicitation so that the concerned individual or company, whoever the letter has been subject to, understands the fundamental concept.
• Solicitation letters should necessarily convey the need for the same and, more importantly, the reason for approaching the particular firm for the cause.
• All particulars related to the event or cause requiring solicitation is to be provided.

The letter should be written in a sincerely grateful tone and not look like some business agreement.

Dear Mr Singer,

I am writing to you on behalf of Diamondville High School, where we provide an all-round learning atmosphere to our students whereby they get exposure to the different aspects of society and also get a chance to study with children belonging to varied strata of the community. We have a goal to educate every child, no matter what race, religion or financial background they belong to, and for that we have a program called Educate One and All where we take special classes for children who cannot attend regular school.

Our staff members work extra time to teach these children but we need more volunteers to take these classes and we think your organization will be able to support us by tutoring, handling teaching equipment and helping with the campus beautification process.

Dear Mr Leroy,

Our company Goal Gym is participating in the Down Syndrome Walk of Austin, 2012 to be held in Austin on June 30, 2012 and we require your support. The walk will be a fun event where over 500 participants are expected to participate, including people with Down Syndrome and their families. There are many people who are still not aware of this condition and through this walk we hope to raise awareness about the problem and how to deal with it. It is an opportunity for people with similar condition to come together and see it as a challenge and not a disability, and a chance for others to know how to assimilate with those suffering from Down Syndrome.

It is a worthy cause and our company is committed to raise $50,000 towards the walk and we are looking forward to your contribution to reach this goal. We value our partnership with you and hope that you will support us in this cause. Please contact me if you need any other information.

Thanking you

Subject: Solicitation letter requesting contribution in campaign fundraiser

Dear Mr Moore,

After being actively involved with the local government responsibilities since 1991 and working towards a positive change in society, my family and I have made a decision that I shall seek elected office. I want to share my experience and ideas to contribute towards the betterment of society by running for President of the County of Harris.

All throughout my life, I have been an honest and dedicated individual and I believe in these times of economic crisis, we need more jobs at the local level so that small businesses can prosper, leading to development of the community. I know there are many political opponents who say the same thing, but I grew up in this county and I know what the issues facing the community are. I have felt the despair of the people because I am a part of them.

Now in order to share my vision of a sustainable economy and increased employment, I would like to serve the people and hence seek your support toward my campaign. Any contribution you make will be much appreciated.

Thanking you

Yours sincerely

Subject: Solicitation letter requesting donation for new children’s clinic

Dear Mr James,

On behalf of New Bud Children’s hospital, I would like to thank you for taking out time to read this letter regarding our new children’s clinic at the hospital. As you know, there is a large number of patients waiting to be treated by our doctors every day and due to lack of space, medical professionals and inadequate resources, we often have to spend a lot of time and effort to make sure that every patient is treated, which can sometimes delay the treatment due to the large number of patients.

We have decided to create a new children’s clinic where patients will not only be provided with the required care, diagnosis and treatment, but a proper waiting area will also be created for them and the patients, which will reduce pressure on the current children’s clinic.

I would request you to kindly make a donation to the hospital that will help us in our efforts to create this new clinic. I hope you had a good experience with the doctors, nurses and administrators of New Bud Children’s Hospital.

Thanking you

Yours sincerely

Subject: Short sale solicitation letter

Dear Mr Smith,

I, Jerry Lebowski, work as a realtor and sell homes in your area, and while surveying the neighborhood I saw that you were marketing your house yourself. If you allow me, I shall be able to do a neighborhood analysis and come up with a good price for your home so that you get to know the market price of the property in your area, at what prices are houses being sold and how much is your property worth, keeping in mind current market standards. Since selling homes can be a very long process, I am ready to help you on behalf of Good Homes and Living Realtors and guide you on how to make an effective sale. I also have a lot of business connections and should you have a buyer for your house, you can ask my help to negotiate better and get a good deal.

You can either check my website www.goodhomesandlivingrealtors.com or you can contact me directly on my phone or leave a voice message at 7292961889 and I will call you right back. Have a good day!

Thanking you

Yours sincerely
