Dear name of individual donor,

I am writing to seek your support in contributing to a charity fund-raising drive for the Handicaps Welfare Association.

Come 3 December 2006, we aim to gather 250 avid runners to GO THE EXTRA MILE and help raise at least SG$50,000 for HWA as they take part in the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2006 (SCSM 06).

HWA is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhance the lives of people with physical disabilities in Singapore. Examples of activities undertaken by HWA include much needed rehabilitation services, transport service and training for people with physical disabilities, allowing them to lead fuller lives and contribute back to society.

Thus, I am seeking your generous support through cash sponsorship to help HWA GO THE EXTRA MILE in their efforts to enhance the lives of the physically disabled and help them integrate into society.

Attached is the reply form (“Here’s How You Can GO THE EXTRA MILE for HWA”) for your consideration. Please contact me or email hwascsm06@gmail.com if you need any further information. More information on this charity drive is also available at www.hwascsm06.blogspot.com.

Please help me GO THE EXTRA MILE for HWA. Thank you.

Warmest Regards,
