The letter is a fundraising request for Manchester University's Manchester Fund from the Director of the Fund, Janeen W. Kooi. It states that students are returning for another school year and rely on donations from alumni and friends to support scholarships, teaching materials, student activities, and campus facilities. Donations to the Manchester Fund provide the most direct way to help students. The letter asks the recipient to consider donating $50 to welcome back students and help support their education.

Dear«Salutation»:
We’ve missed you!
It’s almost time for students to return to Manchester. We’ve missed their laughter, their
energy and their contagious enthusiasm for life. And we’ve missed you, too.
Manchester students rely on alumni and friends like you to support The Manchester Fund.
Your gifts provide scholarships, teaching materials and student activities. They help maintain
residence halls, classrooms, laboratories and athletic facilities. The Manchester Fund is the
most direct and immediate way to help our students. Every gift helps. Every gift matters.
Help us welcome back Manchester students for another great year. And please consider
supportingthem with a gift of «M_050».
Thank you for putting Manchester Students First!
Janeen W. Kooi
Director of The Manchester Fund
P.S. Double your support by asking your H.R. Department if your employer will match the gift!
