Dear Ted:

Thank you for the August 6 interview on work-at-home arrangements offered to employees by major corporations. No doubt, you had read several pieces on that growing trend because you asked such intriguing questions. I hope my answers were equally on target.

Also for those would-be entrepreneurs, the article might spur them into early retirement and a brand-new career. I do think that decision will be easier after they face the realities we covered in the interview.

Should you have any inquiries about the research or our organization, please refer them to Merry Ringer at (800)898-9876 and we will follow up.

Sincerely,

Dear Jeanie:

Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of your morning radio show. We are excited about our company fund-raiser for the local shelter for homeless children, and were grateful for the chance to let even more people know about it.

I appreciated all the questions you asked concerning the fund-raiser. I must admit, at first I was pretty nervous, but your hospitality and the questions you asked not only helped calm me down, but they also helped make sure your listeners got all the pertinent information!

Should anyone call for more information about the fund-raiser, please refer to them to Betsy, our fundraising coordinator, at 490-5395, ext. 484. Thank you again for your time.

Sincerely,

Dear Carson:

Thank you for allowing our organization to be a guest on your show.

Many people have heard the term “non-profit organization” but not everyone knows how a non-profit organization works. Your questions helped guide the viewers through the basics of non-profits. They certainly provided me with an easy framework for getting across all the information I felt was important for people to know.

If you should receive phone calls from people who wish to volunteer their time or services, please have them contact me at 493-2356. I enjoyed being a part of your show.

Yours Truly,
