Sample Fundraising Letter: Walk Sponsorship Request

Want to show your support of a local charity? Many organisations organise fundraising walks once or twice each year. When you participate, you'll need to get people to sponsor your efforts. The more sponsors you have, the more money you'll raise for your favorite charity. Why not recruit sponsors by using a well-written, effective fundraising letter?
