Dear [insert friends name]:

For the tenth year in a row the Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club is holding its annual raffle to raise funds to support positive programs on the local and international level.  These efforts include scholarships, vocational training, counseling, and assistance to individuals who need a "handup", rather than a "handout."

I am writing to ask for your support. Each year we raffle a new car. This year it is the exciting new Volkswagen Beetle. You will find more information on the enclosed sheet. Note that every ticket offers a free Godfather's Pizza (buy one, get one free).

You can help by purchasing a block of tickets. Tickets are $2.00 each and come in books of five. A contribution of $100 will provide you with 50 tickets and will greatly benefit many deserving causes.

It may be of interest to note that 100% of your contribution will directly benefit charity. The car has already been paid for by donations of corporate sponsors and individual Rotarians. Non-paid Rotary members and volunteers staff the entire event.

Please make your check payable to the Bellevue Breakfast Rotary and send it to my attention in the enclosed envelope. Your tickets will be sent by return mail. Thanks in advance for your support.

Sincerely,

Your name

P.S. If you prefer to make a tax-deductible contribution (no raffle tickets), please send a check payable to BBRC Foundation. Your support is appreciated.
