Lesikar's Business Communication: Connecting in a Digital World 13th Edition by Kathryn Rentz,Paula Lentz

Exercise 37

As an employee of the __________ Company (you decide what kind), you're in charge of this year's fundraising for the United Performing Arts Fund (UPAF) of southeast Wisconsin (or for the Fine Arts Fund of Cincinnati, or for a comparable fund in another city or region). Your company is a proud contributor to this organization's yearly campaign, and you want to do your best to help the company achieve its goal of $ _________ (you decide how much) for this year.
Employees will make their contributions via the fund's website. They should log in using their company email address and use the password that has been assigned to their company (you can decide what it is). This way, the company's total contribution can be tracked. Depending on the actual organization you choose for this assignment, there may be different payment options available, including automatic payroll deduction. Donors will not only be eligible for the perks that the fund gives for each donation level; they will also be entered into a company-sponsored drawing for prizes (you decide what would be realistic and appealing). But of course it's the intrinsic benefits that you'll use for your main persuasive effort.
