(Sympathy Letter to employee's family on corporate

Dear Mrs. Hampton:
I was deeply saddened to learn of Frank's death and I would like
to express my sincere sympathy to you and your family on behalf of
the senior management team here at Interconnect Corp. Your husband
was highly respected by managers and employees alike throughout the
entire company. He was regarded as a visionary leader by anyone who
ever worked with him.
Frank's contributions to this company during his 27 years of
dedicated and selfless service were many and varied. In the early
years he was a major part of our initial expansion overseas, and a
number of the offices he set up in Europe are still operating very
successfully. In recent years Frank was a key player in our
transformation to full digital technology, a move which catapulted
us into a leadership position in the industry. Believe me, his
contributions to this company will not be forgotten.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences at this difficult time
and I ask you to please pass these sentiments on to your children.
Your husband was a remarkable man in many ways. Knowing him
personally as I did for many years, I am well aware of the
difference he made in the lives of many people, both here in the
company, and in his private life. He will be missed by many.
With sincere sympathy,
CHARLES T. SIMPSON President and CEO(Print Donation Request

Dear [Name of Contact]:
According to the experts, involving students in community
volunteer activities is one of the most effective ways to engage
them in something meaningful during their after school time. Our
experience has shown this to be true; and that is why at
Valleycrest H.S. we put a great deal of emphasis on our Students in
Action (SIA) program which actively promotes student involvement in
numerous volunteer activities throughout our community.
This letter is requesting your financial support for a very
important annual SIA event.
Each year we hold a Volunteer Appreciation Night where we
recognize and honor the many student volunteers who have served in
our community during the past year. Those students have worked as
volunteers in many different capacities from, serving meals to the
homeless, to entertaining senior citizens in old-age care
facilities, to running household errands for housebound seniors and
citizens recovering from surgery. These are just a few examples of
the many ways in which our SIA students have served our community
over the past year.
Volunteer Appreciation Night is the one time during the year
when we briefly put the spotlight on those doing the giving; as an
expression of gratitude for their selflessness throughout the
year.
Accordingly, we are requesting the financial assistance of
[Company Name] to help cover the costs directly related to holding
that event. Your contribution would be used to offset such costs
as: room rental, DJ fees, food and drink, prizes, etc. An amount in
the area of $xxx would be an appropriate contribution by your
company. Any surplus funds remaining after all bills are paid will
be donated to the [Name of Community] United Way fund.
Your support for this important annual event would be greatly
appreciated by everyone involved.
If you have any questions or would like additional information,
please contact [Contact Name] at 999-9999. Email inquiries can be
sent to [email protected].
Sincere regards,
MARILYN CRANDLESIA Volunteer Co-ordinator

but the most common one is a job termination letter. Some people
confuse termination letters with resignation letters. The sample
termination letter below is typical for a job elimination
situation. As the sample demonstrates, a job-related letter of
termination needs to be drafted with sensitivity and respect.
13. Sympathy letters, or letters of sympathy Are written for
both personal and business situations. In both cases, these letters
should be short and sincere. Personal sympathy letters should be

letter is from an employer to the spouse of the deceased
person.
14. Donation letters Can be written for many different
situations. Most often, they are used by community groups or public
organizations to solicit donations of money or resources to support
some sort of worthy cause. In the real-life sample donation letter
below, a high school is requesting donations from parents and
businesses to support one of its community action programs.Bicol
