Dear Sterling Shirts Representative:

Tiger High School is once again hosting an After-Prom Party for its
students. This party is a way to keep students safe and off the roads. It
serves as an alternative to activities involving alcohol. The last few years,
weve built a reputation as having a really fun venue for dancing, playing
games, and getting great prizes. This year we have more kids signed up
than ever. Local businesses like yours have helped build this reputation
through your donations of goods and money. We are writing in hopes that
you will once again support us by donating t-shirts for all attendees. We
expect close to 400 kids. Last year, you generously donated 300 shirts. Is
it possible for you to go beyond that with your donation this year? Getting
t-shirts to remember the night really meant a lot to the attendees and was
one of our biggest hits. Please call me to discuss this opportunity further at
555-1211. We greatly appreciate your consideration.

Regards,
Lisa Danske
After-Prom Party Committee Chair
