Dear Mr. Hayfield:
Newscircle magazine has proudly provided its readers with accurate, timely stories for 15 years. These stories and reports help our readers gain both knowledge and an understanding of world events.
We are pleased to have a positive impact on our readers, but we don’t want to stop there. We are interested in being an educational tool on all levels. Our editorial staff has developed educational programs for teachers to work into their lesson plans. These programs are available in magazine form and on CD-ROM. They include special “youth” issues of Newscircle which follow a central theme on topics of interest to younger adults. Curriculum guides and other teacher resource materials are also available.
Product prices are supplemented by a special Newscircle fund; therefore, the cost of these items is minimal. Call our toll free number at (800) 555-2595 to receive your free catalog.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Lindo:
Travis Brewery is announcing a full-scale campaign to deter drinking and driving. As part of this effort, we have developed billboards, store/club signs, product warnings, and radios spots. We are hoping you, the store and club owners who carry our products, will join in our efforts.
Your involvement would include posting pre-printed signs in your establishments. These signs encourage the use of designated drivers. We have a fund set up for local clubs to provide designated drivers free of charge to those customers in need of the service. With your help, we can save lives.
We want adults to enjoy our products safely and responsibly. Travis Brewery believes it is our duty to lead the community in helping to keep the streets safe for everyone.
If you are interested in joining our campaign, please call us at (414) 555-4141.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Black:
The first-class engineers and technicians at Robots, Inc. are making wonderful technological breakthroughs. We are excited about sharing our recent developments with the community, as it is you who will eventually decide how these developments are implemented into society.
We are holding an open house Monday, April 23, at 6 p.m. The open house will include demonstrations of robot simulations as well as robots performing designated tasks, such as manufacturing an airplane wing. In addition, some demonstrations will specifically target high school students who may be interested in entering this exciting field of technology.
We hope you will join us at our open house. We are certain you will share in our enthusiasm over the new developments.
Sincerely,.

Dear Ms. Walker,
Every time you shop at Reese’s Mart and Deli you’ll be helping out with the education of your children. That’s because we’re donating 2 percent of our gross sales every month to the Terry High School reading program. Additionally, all employees of Reese’s will volunteer to serve as guest readers in the program.
This is part of our commitment to the community and part of our duty as the only locally-owned grocery store and authentic deli in town. We believe in the future of our community and the children are part of that future. Help us make this better place for all of us.
Sincerely,
[/tab]
