OPERATION:  PHILANTHROPIST


Step 4:  Writing a Letter to the Staff
Every Friday, the teachers and staff of this school hold a jeans day.  Staff members donate $1 each to wear their jeans to school for the day, and donate the proceeds to charity.  Your group's next task is to convince the staff that they should donate this week's jeans day proceeds to the charity you are studying.  To complete this task, you will need to prepare a formal letter to the staff, requesting that they donate their jeans day proceeds to your charity.  You will need to convince the staff that their donation would be worthwhile.  You can refer to the links provided on writing formal letters, and to the sections in your textbook on letter writing.  Hold a brainstorming session as a group to decide what information you will need to include in your letter.  Then have a group member draft the letter.  Preview the letter as a group, edit it, and polish it, before submitting a final copy to your teacher for delivery to the staff of the school.
